I went to my favorite yoga class today, and was thrown for a bit of a loop. The sequencing was different than what the instructor usually offers. Also, I was feeling off balance and out of practice. I need to figure out how to keep some sort of consistency week-to-week even when I'm traveling.

During the warm-up breathing exercises, when we were being encouraged to puff up our bellies with breath, on one of the exhalations I could feel my diaphragm release with a flip of panic. I focused on sitting with it and breathing through it. I'm sure it's a leftover from the stress of last weekend, and if it's well and truly released, that's all to the good.

What I'm noticing from the class is that recent events have knocked me off balance a bit. This isn't all bad, but I have to remember to keep connecting to my core and root down as they say in yoga-land.

...and my upstairs neighbor and his loud girlfriend are at it again. SO distracting!
