...and breathe

I've been very tired and sore for the last few days. So much so I went to bed very early last night not sure if I'd make my yoga in the morning. 5.45am and the alarm went off, I was surprised how awake I felt. However half way through my intense yoga workout my teacher could tell I was struggling. So she adapted the session and I spent the rest of it focusing on my breathing. Wow - I walked out the door like a "new man"! Incredible the benefit I felt from that session and she has recommended we do more of it next week as I need it. The theory is I am concentrating all my efforts and energy on the physical being and not enough on my internal being. Don't worry I'm not going all "hippy" on you but the results were proof enough for me. I'm taking the rest of the day off training but will be back on the road tomorrow building up the miles before the weekend push. Why not take 10 minutes out of your day and concentrate on your breath - enjoy.
