Recovery Week: Day 1

Yoga was interesting yesterday. I could really feel how tight my body was and how as the yoga went I started to loosen up. Atleast through the beginning part and most of the vinyasa sequence. After that I was just sore. All the plank positions and some of the harder strength positions did not agree with me. That is not to say I wasn't extreme and didn't do my best just that I am glad I don't have to lift with my legs and back for a few days. Some of the balance postures did go well as did the yoga belly excersices. I think I was able to hold a fairly good shoulder stand for a little more than a minute. I know which poses I want to work on next time later in the week. Most of them are in the balance posture sequence and some in the yoga belly. I find this dvd to really seem long at times. Maybe that means I am not clearing my mind very well or something but often I think its that some of it seems rushed in the sequencing and then the hold seem very long. This is in contrast to some of the classes I have been to where things all seem to be in a much more steady rythym. I understand the differences  between a workout dvd and a true yoga class but either way its an observation.
