Last night I decided I wanted to try to make the 6am class if at all possible. I was thinking it would be good to get it done early in the day since I had some appointments scheduled for later this afternoon. Also, I was concerned I might have a hard time getting there because of not going yesterday (I know how my mind works).
When I arrived at the studio the teacher greeted me and commended me for coming in so early. I responded that I was genuinely happy to be there (which was the truth). Soooo, when I bent forward in half moon pose to do hands to feet I was surprised that my body was not at all in agreement with my mind. What the what?? I couldn't believe how stiff I was. After the posture, the teacher said to honor the body we brought in with us today. Be patient. She emphasized that our bodies are different at 6am vs. other times. Oooooh, OK. But I quickly lost patience with myself. Everything seemed harder. I felt so tight and apparently I have no balance whatsoever at that hour. I finally laid down in Savasana during the balancing series because I was worried I would make other people fall out of their postures. Ugh. Talk about humbling. I think 4pm classes are best for me at the moment.

I think it's still great that you showed up at 6am - AND better to go to a 6am class than not to go at all! :)
