Inside the Studio 99*F
Outside the Studio: Perfect
Tenth hot yoga class
Lead by Kelli
Super awesome sixty minutes. The studio was packed so I was asked to move to the front row of the room. The front row is typically reserved for more experienced practitioners so that others may watch them or look to them for direction. I've never been in the front row where there's a mirror so I got to see me up close today. Made balancing and concentrating easier.
Another ustasana and a very well balanced standing bow pose. Kelli's leading ability and my response to her teaching style have really helped me make improvements.
It was one of those classes where I felt really in control of my body and could actually see better alignment in my postures, thanks to my proximity to the mirrors.
My sciatic nerve didn't bother me for one second. And it was smelly in the studio again. I washed my towel today so I hope it wasn't me. Likely it was just everyone. What are you going to do? When sweat is dripping from your shins and every pore of your body, multiply that by over a dozen people and there is going to be some funk in the air.
After some pranayama, as we prepped for savasana, the Loud Lady of this studio belts out, "Namaste," is this crazy sing-songy way that made several of us laugh. It was perfect. It had been a humorous class and I appreciate the sense of laughter we can share there.
When I walked out of the door, I felt cleansed and joyful. The night air was perfect.
