You hit the nail on the head! ...@amaranthinestudent<br />You hit the nail on the head! My practice isn't always miserable right before my LH, but it often is 'heavy' and 'futz-y'. Ironically, backbending has been fabulous this week.Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-11566221455146021652010-10-05T12:00:34.148-07:002010-10-05T12:00:34.148-07:00@Flo

I think we all get that way sometimes.<br /><br />@Boodi<br />I almost *never* miss a pre-practice salt bath these days. I don't know if I would be able to motivate myself to practice without them! I'm thinking of trying castor oil on Saturdays. <br /><br />@stephanie<br />Eventually, you get used to home practice. My first week at home after the Shala was HARD. But my brain finally settled down. Most days are pretty good and it's very empowering to know that you can practice without outside support.Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-33161312650983251292010-10-05T11:56:16.717-07:002010-10-05T11:56:16.717-07:00@fivefootwo

I thought it was funny too. I almost expected it to conclude "...oh, nevermind!"<br /><br />@Ragdoll<br />I'm generally pretty futz-free in my practices. This week has been the exception.<br /><br />The photo comes from a book called 'Yoga for Health and Beauty'. I guess 'spare tyres' are not beautiful and to be avoided! ;-)Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-78733731857267611592010-10-05T10:35:47.137-07:002010-10-05T10:35:47.137-07:00Too funny, before I reached the end of your post I...Too funny, before I reached the end of your post I had already decided it was probably because you are about due for a lady's holiday. My PMS makes practice unbearable the three days leading up to it. <br /><br /> I guess thats what happens when you write a blog as good as yours, strangers get to know you that well even your cycles!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-34855408602507644292010-10-05T10:12:35.652-07:002010-10-05T10:12:35.652-07:00This sounds like *every single one* of my home pra...This sounds like *every single one* of my home practices! So much time passes with me staring off into space, or examining my toenails. I zone out at any excuse -- a slight breeze moves the trees outside, or there's a shadow on the wall in the shape of a face, or hm look at that hangnail on my toe. I have determined that I am too flaky for futz-free home practices... Who knew I was practicing Futztanga all that time ;)stephanienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-66457212361430622692010-10-05T08:08:45.756-07:002010-10-05T08:08:45.756-07:00I did a lot of futzing today!

Ayelet of the masterful tic tocs was RIGHT behind me, and that made me nervous, and then I had a pillar to my right. It was BAD tic toc feng shui for sure. I bailed on the first attempt & was going to give up, so the fact that I did two after was enough for me. I announced only 2 to John and he gave me a mock tsk tsk.<br /><br />I better not skip the salt bath tonight!!! Maybe we should both do it & we'll have better times on the mat tomorrow?Boodibahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947899197251310681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-36241819671290915712010-10-05T05:08:18.464-07:002010-10-05T05:08:18.464-07:00Boy have I had THOSE practices before.

It's the secret that the billion dollar diet industry never wanted us to find out. <br /><br />That sort of futzanga used to be the norm for me, now it does seem to be the exception - thanks for giving it a name though.
