Weeks 4 and 5: Yoga Challenge

I was out of town for 1 week and had to resort to doing yoga on my own. Normally I am a pretty solid independent study kind of girl, but I can only do about 15 minutes of self taught yoga at this point. I need help deciding which poses to transition to and when. Yoga on my own is like deep stretching and some balancing movements, but it's hard for me to think of what I should do next and at the same time focus on my breathing, relaxing, meditating, etc. However, the time spent away from the yoga studio was time spent with family, and that in itself is a mental detox from my everyday routine.  I will say that coming back to hard core 75 minutes of daily yoga was hard after a week of lighter practice. I was sore and stiff and my body seemed to lack fluidity and grace that comes from daily practice. After a few days I felt like myself again, but those first three days back were ROUGH!
This upcoming week will be the last of my six week self imposed challenge and my last week of freedom before law school begins. I better make every yogi breath count!

Happy sweating!
