The Prodigal Yogini: Day 53, Class 44 & 1/2: Testing My Limits
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010/03/day-53-class-44-12-testing-my-limits.html
Sunday, March 28, 2010. Day 53, Class 44 and 1/2: Testing My Limits. And there were tears at certain junctures and the runny nose that comes with it and makes it hard to breathe. Even that wasn't enough, I drew myself up and said I really wanted to get a few more classes in for the challenge and that time was running out. And so we began. Pranayama wasn't too bad, Half-Moon hurt, but Half-Moon frequently hurts, the Back Bend was awful but it's supposed to hurt, right? Posted by Prodigal Yogini. View my c...

The Prodigal Yogini: Days 42 & 43, Classes 36 & 37: How are your expectations?
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010/03/days-42-43-classes-36-37-how-are-your.html
Wednesday, March 17, 2010. Days 42 and 43, Classes 36 and 37: How are your expectations? Sorry I have become a sporadic blogger. Life keeps intervening but I keep telling myself that the Challenge is the yoga {which I am. Doing} and the blogging the icing on the cake! Monday night was class with energetic Lynne. After class, she sat down to talk with me for a while about the Challenge and certain postures, and how I felt, and then she asked, "And how are your expectations? A friend who had borrowed my co...

The Prodigal Yogini: February 2010
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. Days 25, 26, and 27: Euphoria! Come over here and I'll tell you my story.". It helps so much to know we are not alone. Listening to Kyle, I felt a shift occur. I can do this. And on the days when it hurts the most in any way; those are the days I'm receiving the most benefit. This morning (Day 27) I woke up early enough to have a hard boiled egg, a kiwi, and a cup of tea and to read of bit of the NY Times. Before heading off to Kyle's 9 am class. It was a great one! Every day i...

The Prodigal Yogini: Days 50-52, Classes 42 & 43: Smile! It makes it easier.
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010/03/days-50-52-classes-42-43-smile-it-makes.html
Friday, March 26, 2010. Days 50-52, Classes 42 and 43: Smile! It makes it easier. Last night I was too sore/exhausted from an all-day photo shoot at school. We were all over campus, up and down a million stairs, and lugging camera equipment, although I certainly had the lighter load. I returned home and immediately crawled into bed and passed out. That I loved. "Smile! Kyle I can feel you rolling your eyes. But really, it did just give way! And remember, I am a weenie! Posted by Prodigal Yogini. I think ...

The Prodigal Yogini: Days 45, 46 & 47, Classes 39 & 40: Gratitude
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010/03/days-45-46-47-classes-39-40-gratitude.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. Days 45, 46 and 47, Classes 39 and 40: Gratitude. But I went. The house would still be there when I returned home at 6:00 and I needed to go. I was starting to make a big deal out of wanting to hold on to the last few hours of my spring break and then I took a deep breath and realized that there was no need to get stirred up. I just switched gears and went to class full of gratitude. All the caring, interesting, magical people in my life. My steady yoga practice. You inspire me...

The Prodigal Yogini: April 2010
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 6, 2010. Class 45: The End of the Challenge. So then what happened? And I did, and she did and I felt MUCH better. There were many postures I couldn't do at all, but some that surprised me. The heat did feel good and so did being able to complete class #45. Kyle yelled at one point "That Pada Hastasana does not belong to someone with an injured lower back! And that made me smile even though it wasn't my normal expression of the posture. And maybe it can over time. Posted by Prodigal Yogini.

The Prodigal Yogini: Day 44, Class 38: Back to Basics
http://theprodigalyogini.blogspot.com/2010/03/day-44-class-38-back-to-basics.html
Thursday, March 18, 2010. Day 44, Class 38: Back to Basics. Today was 9:30 with Sarah and I felt a little nostalgic. When Sarah opened BYH 5 years ago, I was one of her first students. The basics of my yoga practice came from her and the two other teachers at the time, Jen and Monica. So it was fun to be in a class today that had few students {St. Patrick's Day hangovers?
