Savasana Pose

The name sounds like a song, yet the photo is reminiscent of too much partying. With my first Yoga X workout, "corpse pose" has to be my favorite.....dunno if it is because nothing is required or because it comes at the close of the workout. Hey, I have been doing Savasana Pose for years and never knew it.

Today's workout was every bit as yucky as yesterdays was great - which was abs, shoulders & arms. I had zilch balance. Soreness is setting in from yesterdays kick ass workout and the Vinyasas took it's toll quickly. I was shaky and frustrated. This workout seems to drag into eternity.......seems everything begins with Vinyasas moving to Downward Dog to Runners Pose, and on and on. Defeated with my lack of ability, I keep skipping forward.

For the 2nd straight week, I skipped right past The Yoga Belly 7. My Ab Ripper X workout yesterday was the best I have ever done and boy! Do I feel it today - NO WAY was I gonna work my abs again. Actually that is exactly what I should have done.

I have "INHALE" episodes recorded, but I do not think it is the same type as Yoga X. In a quick look on the web, I learn there are at least 15 types of yoga. As if my life weren't hard enough. I also have episodes of "Namaste Yoga" recorded, which really appeal to me, plus they are only 30 minutes. Maybe doing 2-4 episodes of a much shorter workout during the week would be as effective.

I really, really wanna like Yoga X. I can see so much benefit to be had. Next week, I need to just suck it up and keep at it. In the meantime, I will be exploring alternatives.

Namaste.
