Tuesday, July 23, 2019, Woke again in Seattle feeling marvelous. I don't have much time for a pre-practice post this morning so I'm going to begin my warm up and get right to it. Tuesday, July 23, 2019 (Part II), Feeling marvelous after this morning's practice.  I would say that I feel slightly "stodgy" and "bloated" as I move today. I felt a bit of this yesterday, but I'm feeling it more pronounced today.  I slipped out of a routine practice for the month of May and June; I'm not sure why.  A practice isn't always great, as this morning's wasn't great, but it's always an excellent way to start your day.  I'm going to continue to rebuild. Time to get in the shower and enter the day! Namaste

Monday, July 22, 2019 I'm traveling for work and have taken my new mat on its first voyage. In the lovely city of Seattle, on my hotel room floor, getting ready to practice. Feeling good, and looking forward to what my practice will bring. Monday, July 22, 2019, One cannot deny how marvelous one feels after a strong and focused practice.  I don't know why I haven't been hitting my mat with enthusiasm lately but I've gotten out of the habit of waking early and going to my mat. Today's practice allowed me to rekindle some of that warmth, peace, and understanding that comes after a good yoga practice; there's nothing like it.  Mentally, I feel stable, focused and powerful.  Physically, I feel relaxed, and strong.  Spiritually, I feel humbled.  I always pray and meditate before and after my practice (and during), and it feels good to offer yourself up to God in devotion.  One's silly and feeble problems seem complex and unsolvable at first and then,...

Tuesday July 16, 2019 Still haven't gotten back into my yoga swing. I haven't practiced in a month.  No biggie.  I can regain what I lost but, for some reason, when my alarm goes off at 4:30AM, I've gotten into the bad habit of simply hitting the snooze, and not rustling again until 6:30AM. When I do wake, for some reason, there's almost no draw, whatsoever, to hit my mat.  I consider it, and then I think, " I don't even want to do that" , and then go back to bed.  lol . #lazy I did wake at my usual 4:30AM this morning, and I am  going to have, at least, an abbreviated practice to see where things are at. Time to sweat it out. Tuesday, July 16, 2019 (Part II) Great practice.  No time to post after my practice.  Namaste
