As expected, I found today's class challenging as I've skipped my yoga classes for 2 weeks. I was motivated to practice more regularly when the familiar ache in my back returned. What motivated me to try yoga in the first place is the main reason why I keep coming back. Sometimes I forget that so it's good to be reminded. We all need reminders, things to keep us grounded. So yes, it really isn't the toning of the body that motivates my yoga practice but the health benefits it gives.
Something distracted me in class today. Actually through most of my practice, I wasn't as focused as I used to be. Instead I was distracted by how close the mats were and by the other students in class. It didn't help my practice at all. Then during vinyasa, I kept smelling something like floor wax and it made me nauseous. But I forgive myself for being too scattered today and hope that my future practices will be a lot better because of this awareness.
