I went to shala yesterday and had a great practice, moon day or no. Today, on the other hand, I stayed home and had the most uninspired, lazy practice I have ever done. I did not even bother with the vinyasas between the sides, and just wanted it to be over. What is up with that? I went to bed early yesterday, I ate well, no particular strain or stress at the moment. I do not understand how it works.
We are having a miserable day today. It is cold and rainy, the traffic is bad, my commute took twice as long as usual. But people at work seem to be cheerful, and my mood picked up a little. I think I will chalk off this morning's practice as an aberration, rather than age-related decline and will start over tomorrow.
Happy Tuesday!

Hi Alfia,
You are so funny! An abberation...I love it. I think maybe you are experiencing the moon effects. It's not just one day...usually the couple days leading up to and after full and new moons can shift practice here and there :)
I think your rain is coming this way now as I watch the sky cloud up.
Enjoy the day nevertheless!
Peace,
ABY

I was actually ANGRY about the cold for the first half hour of practice today. Even if it stays rainy & gray, I thin the rest of the week is gonna be warmer.
You know as a scientist that one data point cannot be considered a trend :) This was an outlier! I have them, too, every so often I have a practice that I just can't wait to be over....
Collect more data, measure more time points :)
i usually chalk mine up to age-related decline.
hey! My name is alfia too. Sending you some alfia-to-alfia yoga greetings. So few of us. Never thought there'd be a like minded alfia out there!
Hi, Aby:
You might be right with the moon thing. In fact, according to my calendar, full moon was yesterday, not on Monday. I hope I am just feeling the moon! :)
Morning, Linda! I hope Wednesday treats you better, than Tuesday. It is a bit cool today, but vastly better than yesterday.
You are so right, Elaina! More research is needed. :D
Hi, Laksmi: I had a better practice today, so now I think all rumors of our old age are greatly exagerrated.
Hello, Alfia! Indeed, there are very few of us out there! Do you have a blog? Your profile was not available for some reason. Thank you for stopping by!
oh alfia, you are so funny! at least you did something. i slept in on monday. (^_^) i miss you, by the way. it's like we never finish at the same time anymore... :-(
I know, Rayna! Miss you too. And you are leaving in five days... :(
You need to promise to write in your blog every single day!
Did you bind in SK today on your own?
"Did you bind in SK today on your own?"
god, i wish. aliya says he'll work with me while we're in mysore. it's not like we'll be hurting for time. (^_^)
oh oh. have you made it to yoga week at all? we did go to two seminars (i brought aliya with me to work). some of the studies that were presented seemed kind of obvious - like "yoga helps reduce stress during chemotherapy." but others were more interesting - for instance, studies looking at the effect of yoga on inflammation. very neat.
