Woke a little later than my usual time of 5:00am (a whopping 5:30am) and have had a lovely morning lounging around, drinking coffee, and listening to music while tidying up my place.
I'll be hitting the mat shortly to sweat it out and will be following my standard abbreviated Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga.
Mentally, I'm feeling well. I have a sense of "doom" at times (nothing new) and it's important to reflect on where that might be coming from.
Physically, I'm feeling fat and happy as I had pizza and beer with my friend Amanda last night. lol A bit of time on the mat is just the thing that I need to speed some of that junk out of my body.

Judge a good wine by it's color, smell, and taste and judge a good yoga practice by the quality of your Savasana (corpse pose).
"They" say that corpse pose is the, 'most difficult pose of all', and, while I get what people are trying to suggest, corpse pose is the death, the sunset of your practice where you release control over your breath and body and lay motionless and still on the ground; there's nothing difficult about it physically. lol. What can, and does happen, is your brain can take that opportunity to go roller-skating around your mind thinking about nonsense that you don't even know where it came from.
While my brain did (and probably always will) do this a little bit, today's Savasana was remarkable in that, during and after it, I felt a complete sense of peace, stillness and tranquility. That anxiety and "sense of doom" I was feeling before I practiced is gone. I attribute this to many things.
Time to kick start my day.
Have a wonderful Saturday!!
Namaste
