Not everything goes as planned...

My detox day yesterday didn't go very well. I was feeling OK till lunch time and then got headache during the afternoon. By the moment I came back home from work the headache was so strong, that I could only lay in bed in the dark and try not to move, so that it doesn't get worse. So I spent probably 2 or 3 hours like this until my boyfriend convinced me that I'd better take a pill. Luckily for me it did work and after a while I did feel better, but I had to eat something and also had a coffee with milk. I should have known better. I know it's normal to get a headache when making a detox, but mine was more like a migraine. Really bad. I felt sick. And this has happened to me before as well, when for some reason I couldn't eat for extended period during the day. I guess my blood pressure was also too low, because I had this pulsating pain on the back of the head and the neck. So, I guess I won't be trying this any time soon. Maybe a modified version. The good thing is that around 22 h after I felt better I was able to do my Yin practice - the Liver sequence from Sarah Power's Insight Yoga. I enjoyed it very much. It's been months since I did Yin Yoga for the last time. I'll have to do it more often. I even plan on getting her book as well.

Today I did my practice in the late afternoon. I chose Seane Corn's Live Class 2. I was wondering in the beginning if I shouldn't do Yin Yoga again, but then went on with it. Seane's classes are not easy. I sweated a lot but felt great at the end. I love it that she gives so much instruction about proper form. I've noticed that I often tend to hyper extend my knees, so was really mindful about it. I try to engage the toes, relax the neck and wrap the shoulders as in Forrest Yoga. I also stayed in bridge and didn't do urdhva dhanurasana. I was warm enought and could have easily pressed myself up in wheel, but this is not the point. I wanted to be careful about tucking the tailbone and pressing the pelvis upwards to protect the lower back.

Tomorrow I may go to a class in the yoga studio nearby. There's some guest teacher from India so I may check him out.
