returning student

I have been away for 10 days and attended one class last night. Although I do Yoga here and there on my own, not the same as in a small class with the teacher. When I entered the practice room, I felt especially calm. I was ready and more than ready. That was how I feel. I wanted a very long session, say 8 hours if it was possible. I was in my element (felt that way anyway).

I was glad that we were asked to do handstand against the wall. I thought that I would have enough guts to kick up but no success. I kicked pretty high and I knew that it was not I could not, it was because I was holding back. When Christine asked us to try the 2nd time, I asked openly about my issue. I wanted to get it done. Christine encouraged me firmly and offer to stand there for me. That was what I needed. I kicked up and did my first hand stand ever. I was very calm and excited. Interesting combo.

I want to practice more with no fear but acceptance. I had a taste last night and I enjoyed it very much.
