I have never seen pup lie down and sleep on a bare floor until just now. Apparently 22.8C is warm!

I do yoga with the windows open. This is the first time it's been warm. Pup has slept next to me in a bed, in a crate, on a towel, on a rug, on my yoga mat. Never on the floor!

It's a new year, and in the renewed spirit of optimism, I'm starting a new ashtanga yoga thread. I'm going to try to practice every day of the calendar month but the last one and report back. I suggest muting this thread if yoga isn't for you.

Today, first practice of the new year, was at home and... OK, given the amount of wine I drank last night. Basically, I made it through and sweated out the wine. Which is all one can hope for.

Sunlight helps in regulating mood, stabilizes appetite and sleep, apart from the vit d. Àim for at least 30-45 mts daily. #Mentalhealth #dailypractice #physicalhealth #therapy

Day 26 of my daily Mysore ashtanga practice - almost through the full month.

Thoroughly expected today's practice at home to be awful. It was in the middle of the day, and I'd eaten, and you're supposed to do ashtanga first thing on an empty stomach.

But, weirdly, joints felt really loose and open, and something seems to have unlocked in my lower back. No huge breakthroughs, but wheel, plough and the closing sequence curls much improved.

As I'm no longer posting on the other place, a random day 23 update from my month of daily Mysore ashtanga.

Dragged myself to the shala this morning: am waking up at 5 to write and had a broken night. But randomly found myself able to hold headstand, come down to pike headstand, and come back up to headstand, something that's eluded me for years.

On the downside, the pain is back. Mainly in the hamstrings but a bit in the ribs.
