Went to my usual 10:30 AM class this morning, which is probably one of my favorite classes all week because of both the small size and the instructor.

I'm definitely plateauing. I'm tired and sore. But I can work through all that because I recognize the positive effects that are manifesting themselves in my life. Also, we did handstands and full wheel backbends this morning, so that always help motivate me.

On a related note, I downloaded my first audio book for my iPod, "Light on Life" by B.K.S. Iyengar, an adaptation of his "Light on Yoga". I'm about halfway through right now, and it's proving to be helpful in my understanding of the underlying philosophy and history of the practice. It's also a lot to take in, and so I can't really type much about it as I'm still digesting it all.

So I have less than a week left in the maha. I plan to get my card framed when I'm done and hang it on a wall. I've never done anything like this before, and despite my fatigue - or maybe because of it - I've never been more proud of myself about anything I've ever done.
