One on one increases results

It was as if yesterdays comment on yoga had been read by my teacher Pamela Young (www.pamelayoung.co.uk)as I turned up at 6.15am this morning and was put through the most incredible session. Working on a one to one basis in my opinion gets 3 times more out of me. I couldn't possibly put myself in those positions but with her adjusting me or applying some physical pressure, I got there. The sweat was pouring off me and I just managed to keep it together (i.e. without passing out!)for the full hour but she had noticed I was out of alignment. So to finish off she used some ti massage methods which sounds a lot more pleasant that it was. Bloody agony at times but afterwards my shoulders and back felt amazing. That's led me to book with my sports masseuse for the "full bhuna" on my back. I've said before this is an area that I will need to strengthen but also to increase the flexibility as running with 10kg is going to be challenging. If you get a chance for a one on one with a coach / teach or instructor, take it as whatever your practising will improve much quicker and cut out bad habits. Think I'll go for a lie down now!
