#yogaforathletes — Public Fediverse posts

Today's #YogaForCrossFit class was focused on the arms. Lots of elbow flexion & extension, forearm pronation & supination.

We also worked on bound headstand & forearm stand, in the middle of the room. First I assisted them up, and most of them just kept trying on their own and got so good at freestanding headstand (and some at forearm stand) that I am so amazed and proud of them.

I do not practice headstand or forearm stand, so I guided them in and out and just gave tips.

(I know some teachers will say I should not teach what I don't practice, but I have practised them before, I just don't any more).

They also asked to enjoy savasana in the sun, so we moved the mats for savasana 😇

Why do I teach yoga? To help people, and things like this make it so worth it: Today one of my regulars came up and gave this card with a thank you note 💜

Took a half day worth of overtime today, because I was feeling drained.

OF course a manager demanded I went in to the office for a meeting (that yes, could have perfectly been a teams, since half the people were on teams anyway). Which meant wasting 1h driving there and back.

So my half day off started a bit later and even more tired, so I did some #YogaNidra deep guided relaxation, which often helps.

Then I watched some more of the yoga for athletes course I am taking (super interesting session on #YogaForCrossfit #CrossFit), and afterwards I went for a walk.

And I'm sure people at work judged me because I took time off in the middle of a delivery period, but it's either that or ending sick / exhausted, so I've been setting boundaries and doing what I need to do to keep myself healthy.
