I agree! I have a feeling I 'try to...@annabella<br />I agree! I have a feeling I 'try too hard' with some of these poses. Everything seems to unfold on its own schedule.<br /><br />Send your NYC snow up to us! It's better than Candadian Slush! :-)<br /><br />@Michelle<br />Re: The flu shot...I have an underlying condition that makes me vulnerable to serious respiratory illness. I've been getting the regular flu shot for years. The discomfort will pass, but the flu (H1N1 or otherwise) is the last thing I need!<br /><br />I'm totally with you on the shorter practices! We all have enough pressure in our lives without high expectations from our yoga practices! If 5 minutes is all you can do, then 5 minutes if fine! <br /><br />I'm applying this same wisdom to my meditation practice. I've found it overwhelming lately, so I'm scaling back to 10 minutes per session. It feels so much better!<br /><br />As for wanting snow: You have my permission to remind me that I said this in February. I'm sure I'll be horrified! ;-)Kaivalyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08706519542278960007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-44007710603004829692009-12-08T19:21:11.042-08:002009-12-08T19:21:11.042-08:00I can't believe you got another flu shot after...I can't believe you got another flu shot after the discomfort you had with the last one. Brave woman. Second, I have been finding more joy in my practice these days when I do a shorter version. I have only been doing 25 minutes every day this week and it has been really good. I still practice every day, as you suggested but it isn't so daunting as trying to fit in a 75 minute practice when I don't feel like it or there are other things going on. Third, you are wanting snow? That is more my thing. I thought you hated winter and cold and snow.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16565974219676416897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796354866116498246.post-24375657539204170242009-12-08T18:12:05.247-08:002009-12-08T18:12:05.247-08:00Ha!

It feels so open and graceful. <br /><br />Sometimes I think when we rest our muscles - not that you have been sloth-like - it makes them stronger.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
