all aboard the express kundalini

For various reasons, I've been a little stressed lately, so I've drastically increased the amount of kundalini yoga I've been doing. For the last few weeks, I've been alternating my regular workouts with kundalini yoga. My stress levels are down. My sleep patterns are slowly renormalizing. And I have never looked forward to working out more than when I have kundalini yoga pencilled in to my schedule.

Thanks to the enabling of one fitness-related support group, I'm going to attempt a daily practice. It won't always be long, but hopefully it will always be something. Thanks to the encouragement of another fitness-related support group, I've decided to blog about my experiences. This is an experiment of sorts; I want detailed notes.

Today I did one of the new Raviana's, Body Electric. It definitely lives up to its name. I had to modify in places and take occasional rest breaks, but I loved every second of what I did do. When I finished the practice, my body was humming with that lovely post-yoga energy and my mind was tranquil.

As much as I hate mornings, there is a lot to be said for doing yoga right when I wake up. I started my day feeling like I'd already accomplished something major, so I could clearly handle anything. Even the sudden appearance of snow could not rattle my equanimity. That's so rare, and powerful. I want it more often.
