Back from India


My yoga teacher came back from India and this was her first class in 2 months. Still the rough, no bull-shit attitude she has always had which can be motivating and at times annoying. In class we practiced what I have been practicing mostly on my own: Adho Mukha Svasana, headstand, Utthita Trikonasana, Shoulderstand, etc. Just when you think you have a grasp on things, a teacher is there to always throw you off balance and realize that you dont know it all. Sure, I've made LONG strides in the last two months, but somehow I feel like I'm starting all over again. That's how it goes, I suppose. At times I have to say that I feel like I should quit, but then I say to myself that I need this focus and practice in my life, for I've spent it too long idle.

On another note: I never realized why my my right neck strains and hurts when I am in Utthita Trikonasana on the right side going down verses my left side??? We praciticed camel pose Usanasana (?) and I was told that my thighs move forward too much.
