Week 2: My Wandering Mind

Did I practice this week?

Yes, twice.

How did I feel before my practice?
I felt insecure and uncomfortable to start at a new yoga studio. Instead of practicing at my usual studio Yoga To The People, I tried out a new place in Berkeley, Yoga Tree. 

What was the result of my practice?
The practice was completely different than I was use to. It was more of a spiritual practice and less of a flow. The instructor was amazing. She adjusted me when I needed the help and pushed me to try new things I had never done before like inversions.

Did I have difficulties or problems with my practice?
I did, I had a very difficult time bringing myself back to my breath and meditating.

Did I stay positive through my struggles?
Yes, I struggled with some balancing poses as well as my meditation. My mind still wanders, but at least I'm aware of when it does. 

This week I also had a new experience with meditation. I sat for about 20 minutes and meditated on my floor. My mind still got away from me a few times. I find it hard to think of absolutely nothing other than my breath. I found a video online that sums up my mind in class.
