do yoga

So, that was the final yoga class for this spring.

It was not that bad aside from the discovery that my right leg is somehow painful. The trembling was better and the pain nearly none-existent.

In a quick decision, I tentatively signed up for the fall class :-)

So, that were my yogadventures for now :D

I spent yesterday evening at the hospital with my husband.
Perhaps I can make up for it tomorrow in the evening using my new yoga app :-)

No yogadventures this week so far :-(

On to new yogadventures :)

We did new asanas today. I still feel like I’m too weak – but this week another lady of my age was there, too – and she could also not do the things I failed at. Small comfort but comfort :-)
And my knees don’t like to kneel….

I wish I could do this better, but I’m making progress!

It’s still torture ;-)

Another round of yogadventures :)

Today was strange. I know most of the poses now. They don’t feel very painful anymoure.
But I’m so very weak – Everyone else could lift their leg in warrior pose and I just managed 4 seconds.
My legs or arms tremble and shake and I wonder why.
Perhaps I need some more time to recover from my cold (It’s the fifth week now and already nearly over…)

I wish I could do this better.

Back to the yogadventures :)

The poses are getting more taxing – I try to do most of them, but I can only do a short time. And the dog is still hard to do…

The pain is getting better – only my legs feel very weak…

It’s still torture ;-)

It’s the easter holiday week at the kindergarden where the yoga course is held, so, no yoga this week.

I was too tired to try on my own.

Sigh.

Hooray for next week!

Today, we did yin yoga.

It was very taxing but the hour just flew by. I was not able to do everything but I tried.
The relaxing part is strange now because it’s no longer dark.

I’m not so tired anymore and it doesn’t hurt after the training.

It’s still torture ;-)

Today, I tried to do yoga alone.

I made 8 rounds through the sun saltutation (at least I think it translates to this, it’s called Sonnengruß here).
And I tried the standing-on-one-Foot thing.

It was surprisingly hard.

I miss my teacher :-)

was just cancelled because the teacher is sick.

I’m thankful we were notified early.

I’ll try to do some yoga alone tomorrow. Now that will be fun – mostly for my husband to watch!

Now I know why some things are so hard for me and why I cannot lift my right leg.
I cannot rest my weight on my left hand. I had a bad accident some years ago where the muscle and nerves to my left pinkie were torn.
It was repaired but it’s not quite the same as before.
I don’t think it’s a physical issue it’s more in my mind – I try to put my weight on this arm and it goes all stiff and refuses the movement.
My poor teacher was quite confused by this…

On all other things I’m making progress. Very small progress, but progress nevertheless.
