day 53 - eeeeaaaaaagggggggle

I DID YOGA FOR 50 MINUTES ON THE 53RD DAY. I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE I HAVE ACHIEVED THIS.

Two years ago even 30 minutes seemed too much to me! Fiji’s first day was amazing literally. But… it was challenging as well. To be honest, I needed to rest at some stages of the practice. For example when I was performing the chair pose for the 3^rd time in sequence my legs couldn’t endure. I quickly moved to mountain pose to rest them. The flow is so full of energy that I don’t know how I am going to sleep now.

(Don't I look like a snake rather than an eagle? This pose is called eagle pose but I don't know why and when I say eagle only one thing comes into my mind: scrubs & JD.)

what kind of yoga is this guys?

In this flow, movements & postures are more connected than Adriene’s flows. They are also more advanced. This makes me swell with pride as long as I can do the postures. For today there are not any asana that are too difficult but I am sure there will in the next 13 days. Yo, remember that this is only a 14 days challenge with Fiji. Then I will be back to Adriene’s channel.

Fiji’s explanations are good and through her inspiring one or two sentences during the flow you can calm your mind too. However, she is too fast to follow. When she is in downward facing dog and raising her one leg, I am in chaturanga, trying to catch up.

The most pleasurable sequel postures I have had today’s session are moving from pigeon’s pose to a twist by bringing the back leg on top of the front leg. I was like “Whooaah that’s so smart!!!” I am sure these people find these by practicing a lot and going into flow really. Secondly, going from shavasana to full body stretch felt me like ocean waves. When I was in shavasana I was going towards to the shore and when my body was straightened fully I was there.

Soooooo IF YOU WANT A REALLY CHALLENGING YOGA FLOW PLEASE TRY THIS 50 MINS. Please do not find any excuses because I came home at 7 pm, cleaned the house, changed the decoration of my room and the living room and did yoga between 9.30 and 10.30 pm. It’s 11.30 and I am writing about my experience here. Have some fucking courage to do something for your body and soul.

You. Are. Worth. It.

Can’t wait for tomorrow.

See yo later alligator!
