Sweet Vinyasa, Monday @ 8:30am

Arrived without much of plan except to continue experimenting with the twisting and balancing work we have been doing. There was a new woman and she introduced herself as "from Yoga Journal." Doah! For a moment, that "Wow, I better be someone else so she might like me" tune looped and then I relaxed (kinda) and did my best to show up as me. Shared from the blog I had written that morning about relaxing.

I did not go as out there as we have been, but reigned it in to be a combo of work we did last month with some of the new twisting.
