After spending a leisurely day doing not very much, I really didn't feel like going to class. But I went.

As it has been for the past few days, the place was packed. We'll see what happens tomorrow when we're off a holiday schedule and the traditional work week starts to pick back up.

Tonight's theme was icha, the universal burning desire for transformation. I definitely felt the physical burn tonight, especially in my legs. I think part of it is fatigue. I guess yoga every day will do that, even if it's still been only about half a week.

Despite the fatigue, I am definitely noticing progress. I am now able to spread my hips and touch the floor in Uttanasana, standing forward bend. A week ago, I had to use blocks on their highest stance.

If I can keep progressing noticeably like this, I will gladly work through the muscular burn as it keeps fueling my inner burning.

After all, my burning desire for transformation, my icha, is greater than my burning calves and thighs.
