I know, it's 15 hours after class 25 ended and I should have posted something earlier, but cut me some slack: I had a 7:30 AM meeting and I'm not a morning person. My prep actually had to start the night before and I was still 5 minutes late.

Class was actually wonderful last night, just what I needed. I'd been feeling for the three or four days prior that I was hitting a wall and plateauing. I talked on the phone briefly with Chad shortly before class (he's the one to thank - or to blame - for getting me into the yoga in the first place). I was telling him of my fatigue and he suggested that I should take a day off. I know I should listen to my body, but I was also feeling pretty decent yesterday.

I decided to go to class.

I'm glad I went.

The theme was all about balance, particularly finding balance in asymmetry, which is almost a counter-intuitive concept until you accept that balance and symmetry are not the same thing. I maintained my balance almost entirely throughout the class and tapped into a core strength that I'd forgotten or become blocked from for the few classes prior.

Now with only five classes to go, I feel like I have the extra burst of energy and enthusiasm that I need to get through. My fatigue has seemingly melted away.

I feel good. Even for starting my day at 7:30 AM.
