21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 16 – Shavasana, Shavasana, Shavasana…
I got to yoga this morning and I feel torn. I want the peace and rest of spending some time in Shavasana and I also want a work-out. I really like the teacher that is here and so I start the first downward dog and my wrist feel sore. That seems to answer my question. My body needs to rest and recover from yesterday’s workout. So I breath and rest in Shavasana and feel blissfully rested and refreshed by the end of class. I am now looking forward to yoga tomorrow. What a fantastic way to start the day.
When I lie in Shavasana for the whole class, I feel deeply and fabulously rested by the end. This is so peaceful, I wish I could do this and all the yoga poses every day. I think this is fantastic in my head but I have yet to try back to back yoga classes. This idea of 2 classes in a row startles me since 2 and a half weeks ago I could barely make it through a class. When I started, the idea of “meditating” seemed horrible. Sitting still for a long time seemed so unpleasant. Shavasana is different for me. It is deeply restful and a way to deeply care for my body and my soul.
