Holy crap.

I just attended a session of yoga at the studio a block from the office. I haven’t done yoga in six months, and this was much more intense than any of my gym yoga classes have been. End result: sweat flowing off of me, I felt like I was gonna die. It was GREAT.

Classes are Tuesday and Thursday at lunch. When I start to telework, I’ll work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can hit class twice a week. I should be in better shape in no time, with a class like that!

I dare anybody who thinks that yoga is a mickey mouse workout to try a good class. Doesn’t even have to be bikram to make you pour sweat.

I also came to a conclusion about the origins of jala neti. It’s my firm belief that somebody, somewhere, was doing inversions as part of an intense practice and sweat dripped up their nose. o.O

I did the FitTV yoga last night, and managed to injure myself in the process. It’s not exactly a challenging format, but I strained to look at the TV while I was on my knees, had my head on the floor and my hands flung behind my back. Ok, I don’t know *how* to describe it in 50 words or less, but it’s not important. I did something stupid, should have known better, and managed to pull a muscle in my shoulder.

So while my back felt better sleeping last night, my shoulder ached something awful. I broke down and medicated – I slept way too little the night before to risk it again.

Right now, I’m just craving a good cup of coffee. I’d do a coffee shop run, if there was anything I could get in less than an hour. I don’t have the coffee press with me at work, since I gave it up and started drinking tea, instead. Some days, I think that a longer commute would be worth it, just to be working in civilization.
