One-third of the way through!

It does feel easier now than it did even a few days ago. I initially thought that practice both yesterday and today were more gentle than it had been the preceding 8 days, but in retrospect, we were practicing the same asanas for the same amount of time in slightly different orders. Could it be that I'm actually getting stronger and more flexible?

Today's class was nice and small, probably only about 10 people. That allowed for some more individual attention to alignment, which I've been needing. Today's theme was about "making space" in the body and the mind for kindness to ourselves. The self-care-related themes really resonate with me. Self-care - or my historic lack of it - is one of the major reasons I decided to take this challenge.

Oh yeah, I did a handstand today!

I feel pretty good. I'm less sore between practices now than I was a week ago. I feel more connected to my body. My mind doesn't race quite as much.

Even my cat has been more affectionate toward me these past few days.

I'm telling you, you should join me and you won't regret it!
