Weak In the Moon
Yesterday I practiced with a fellow yoga student from the club... I had one of the worst practices I've had in a long time! I had no balance, no rhythm... I could not get myself inverted FOR THE LIFE OF ME! I fell flat on my back trying to get UP the wall from a backbend ... I didn't even attempt going down. I couldn't even get up into a headstand... horrible! It was only after laying in savasana (which I couldn't do either by the way) that I realized that this was the first time I'd practiced in the first few days of my moon in over a year. I guess there is a reason I stopped doing that! :)
So, I'll not practice tonight... besides I have work to catch up on anyway. I'm in the market for a new yoga mat too -- I can't decide if I should stick with Manduka or try the new Prana Maha mat. I also need a new bag... I have one but it doesn't have a zipper pocket and I am continually losing things from the open pocket (like nearly losing a very expensive platinum ring I wear). My old bag that I loved broke one day as I was pulling my mat out... I'm in love with the bags from My Mat & Me but, as you can tell, they don't have a zipper. I like this bag a lot too but it's too small for a black mat and the larger one doesn't appear to have the zipper pocket. I've seen some of this style both at this place and Crescent Moon but I can't decide if that strap would be as nice as the ones I'm used to. I love the Saka and Timbuk bags but they are simply over the top of what I need (and it's funny because I remember when I went to Yoga Works at Thanksgiving a couple years ago -- an experience I hated -- a girl came in with that fuzzy bag and I though "Now, I'm REALLY in L.A.!). I've never been one to be obsessed with purses (or shoes or clothes for that matter).. I own two purses and they are both black. I owned one briefcase (when I needed one)... also black. For some reason, I love yoga mat bags...
