Yesterday was Day 1 back in a real live studio. There was a nice mix of regulars and fresh faces, including @jaynesave.
She and I started together to get the special price for 1-month unlimited. She was great. I don’t look around in class, so even though she was set up right next to me, I don’t know much about her poses. I do know that she stayed in the room and was really tuned in to the practice. And, she didn’t panic. There was no muttering of “fire in the brain”!
As far as my practice goes, I wasn’t surprised that I was sick to my stomach for a lot of the standing series. It was sugar rebellion. I made fresh chocolate chip cookies with walnuts the night before and proceeded to eat a dozen of them! All was well until my instructor gave me some verbal encouragement during 2nd set of Ustrasana / Camel and I complied only to come out to the very certain feeling that I was going to vomit. Jumped up, thought for like a split second, that maybe it would pass, and then sprinted to the bathroom to puke out all the liquid I had consumed in the last 3 hours. Washed my mouth out, splashed water on my face and hustled back to class in time for 1st set of Janushirasana with Paschimottanasana. Missed Sasangasana / Rabbit which is a total bummer because it’s my hardest of the floor series. Finished up strong and my instructor said after Khapalbhati / Blowing in firm that we had a spirited class. Indeed.
