While I've been away from my mat for a few weeks, I'm re-setting my routine and woke up at my usual 4:45AM this morning to warm up and shape myself into something.
I can say that, as I feel now, I feel a little stiff and sore and not quite fully awake yet. The hour of coffee and contemplation was nice, but wasn't really enough to shake the night's sleep off of me.
Instead of blogging about it, I'm going to start warming up.

I'm writing this on my mat, having just come out of Savasana.
I will never regret going to my mat (and neither will you), but my practice was not brilliant this morning. I'm not being self-deprecating, rather, I'm just being honest about the general vibe of this morning's session.
I wasn't ever fully awake for it all. Having woken at my standard 4:45AM for the first time in two weeks has made me a little loopy feeling; it was extremely tempting to simply crawl back into bed when my alarm went off this morning.
Physically, I've lost strength in my arms and shoulders. I know that I'll quickly regain what was lost, but, for today, it wasn't there.
I seemed to move too quickly, like I couldn't wait for it to be over. lol. That happens sometimes (breathe will come and go too quickly), and the whole practice is sped up.
I'm going to shower and enter the day. I feel refined and cleaned despite the less that fabulous practice. It was fabulous of me to get up and hit my mat, and that's enough.
Namaste
