Day #18 - I've a Confession to Make

Actually I have a couple of confessions.

Confession #1, today I skipped class!

While I have been sharing with you the golden nuggets from Prashant’s class, they can be the most agonizing 2-3hrs you have even known. That’s confession #2.

The catch is you have to sit through (yes sit) the 3hrs out to get the small nuggets of gold.

Prashant’s classes are more often than not, sitting and listening to his philosophy which is interspersed with a few asana.

My back has been cranky ever since I arrived, so sitting static for 3hr has been agony and I just couldn’t take another day of it, so I skipped class and practiced at home.

This practice was very familiar to me in the sense that, I got on the mat and struggled, thinking what to do, summing up the gusto to get into it, to push myself, to move dynamically, because this is what my body needs most right now, but it was a struggle to start.

Then at some point, I got into a groove and could feel the energy rising and then I pushed myself, I did a classical version of asana I really struggle to do, I pushed beyond my comfort zone, I breathed out, I initiated more.

What can I say, by the end, I did not want to stop, but for the sun in my face.

We can go to many classes, we gather so much knowledge, but what is it good for if we don’t take it onto the mat with us and practice what we have gathered in our database.

Thank you, Prashant for empowering me and apologies for not coming to class today, but the inner teacher could not be silenced today.

Here is my practice.
