I had to miss practice yesterday... huge family emergency that hasn't resolved itself and, I'm afraid, will be hanging over my head for potentially years and years to come. Maybe that won't happen... but I'm not holding my breath.

Today I got a massage... first time having a hot stone massage and, well, I hated it. At first it was great, the heat of the rocks but, after awhile, it just felt like laying on, well, rocks. I could feel the rocks digging in my back and it hurt. The therapist massages you with rocks... that's okay but, honestly, hands feel way better. I even have a red circle on my chest where a rock burned me. A few hours later, I endeavored yoga with Kiran... I didn't want to miss an opportunity to practice with her even though I knew I was feeling wierd. About Janu Shirasana B I just couldn't do it anymore.. I was consistently "greying out" coming up from anything... even a forward bend and my stomach was becoming quite upset. I'm thinking dehydration and whatever happened to me from those hot stones....
