72// Yoga and ITG
Today I played a lot of ITG. If I’m going to actually be a participant in Cupcake I need to get better at the 10s and 11s, so I eased myself in to the 10s by alternating with 9s. I think I did pretty well. The goal is to at least 96% each song to be a competitor, but for the first couple plays ever I think these are decent scores.
My hip muscles are killing me though. My iliopsoas muscle is insanely tight and ITG super aggravates it. I need that shit to GO! AWAY!!!
After I finished, Steve played some himself while I went to yoga. He had a super good day and I was really proud of him.
Yoga was great, we had a lot of new people along with the regulars for class. I had a good balance day and chose to do crow instead of dolphin as my inversion because I hate dolphin, it hurts my back so much and I feel useless in it. My shoulders are also super weak and it’s impossible for me to adequately push them out of my sockets!
There was one older gentleman in class who said it was his first time doing yoga ever, and it was super unfortunate then when we were going into one of the down dogs and he let rip a SUPER loud fart. Like, there was no doubt it was him and he was clearly super embarrassed, but Brandi didn’t miss a beat and no one acknowledged it or anything. I’m super sensitive to embarrassment and shame empathy, so I had to work my way out of feeling so embarrassed for him and THEN I had to force myself to stop creating scenarios in my head where I or someone else reassures him that it happens to everyone (because it does happen sometimes, though usually it’s just a little toot, not a loud honker) and to please not be put off yoga forever. After class though the people near him asked how he liked it and he said he def was coming back, phew!
