90 Down:Rituals

Last night was my 90th class I can't believe I've come this far. This week I've been doing doubles (not back to back) early mornings (0630) and late nights (2015) it's crazy I know...I get home just after 2300 and wake up at 0500 to get to my morning class. And I'm here thinking if it was for anything else there is no way I'd be sacrificing my sleep. But I'm not knackered once I'm up I'm up. Benefit of Bikram.

Last night I got to talking to little Alex before class. And I totally forgot to do my loo run 5mins before the start of class. I was screwing cos I hate having to leave class to use the loo plus I fear that I'll be the cause of groupthink and people start leaving class to use the loo. Thankfully I didn't need to go the use of the loo 5mins before class is one of my yoga rituals...even if it's a little piss I went so I'm good to go.(tmi I know sorry)

This got me thinking of my other rituals in the hot room.
1) when performing half moon pose I always do a little shimmy to try make myself taller...plus I love the way my waist and hips look in the set up of the pose it's the way my body is meant to look.

2) Standing bow is no longer a friend of mine. No matter how much I've tried to find common ground with the beautiful posture it hasnt happened. At one point I thought we had an understanding but now not no more. So whenever I fall out of the posture I try to become invisible by standing still looking down to the floor for fear of catching the teacher's eye and them telling us if you fall out get back in....nah it ain't happening.

3) When on the floor if i realise my mat is crooked I get crazy brain. So I place my towel straight over the top of my mat. Who knew I had a little OCD when it comes to straight lines.

4) When doing the sit up, just before putting my arms above my head, I always without fail touch my boobs!!! Weird I know. I'm trying to stop that bad habit.
