Cumulative
Posted in ashtanga yoga on 09/14/2007 04:39 pm by karen“It’s cumulative,” VBG said this morning, as I opted out of intermediate poses with the complaint of a sore back.
Indeed. Two years’ worth of striving.
Yesterday I did primary and called it quits. Likewise, this morning.
What did I learn? That my primary has suffered as a result of “get to second” mentality.
A sudden thought (is it inspiration or exhaustion?): “I should spend another year on just primary.”
Interesting.

Hi Karen
Let’s hope it’s exhaustion. There is so much energy to be derived in the intermediate series.
Cheers,
Arturo

Thanks, Arturo! I got back to the intermediate poses this morning. It felt quite good. I think I was just tired and a little overstressed from work. I appreciate your pep talk!
