Day 1...no witty title.

I took the noon class today.  I've had days where getting out of bed, dressing, packing my bag, etc. seems impossible.  Thankfully this wasn't one of those days.  I actually arrived to the studio earlier than usual.  With only a few students there already I had my choice of prime spots.  My preference is back row and as far from the clock as possible.  Once I was set up I had about 15 minutes to lay in Savasana. Last night I didn't sleep well.  I was anxious, which generally makes my sleep choppy.  As I laid on my mat I began to feel warm and drowsy, and then calm.  The class itself went well.  I had some mild frustration with the balancing series because I fall out of the poses a lot.  But I didn't lay down during them.  That's a first for me actually (just realized this).  Hmmm.  I did right after though, haha.  So now that class is over I'm feeling the usual fatigue that follows.  But I'm not anxious.  I want to crawl back under the covers and close my eyes.  But not because I'm depressed and want to shut the world out.
