Rob - Day 17: Full Moon/Yin

Ah, got to sleep in a little bit this morning as per the full moon. Something I've noticed when I practice at home is that it's much harder to get moving. With Mysore as long as I push myself enough to get out the door it's all smooth sailing from there. When I'm at home its much more of a challenge to get myself to the mat.

So on this particular moon day I told myself that all I had to do was a 1/2 hour of yin and then my commitment for the day would be all set. But man, for some reason in my first pose (Wide Kneed Child's Pose) I felt absorbed into the mat in a state of relaxed bliss. Ahhhhhh. From there I proceeded to do a full 1:15 practice quite happily. And it was quite grand!

Lesson Learned: JUST DO IT! Once you beat the battle to get on the mat it's smooth sailing from there. But I already knew that, didn't I?

Namaste, Om Shanti, etc.!
