I woke up today and the first thing I wanted to do before anything at all, even going to pee, was stretch. I wanted to get on he floor and do some yoga. So I get up opened the door for Alice and sat on the floor to try to do downward facing dog. FAIL. It was painful and I was not nearly as limber as I thought I would be first thing in the morning. Then I proceeded to try the pose from yesterday, lotus. As you can imagine that didn't work either and at this point Alice is now in my lap trying to kiss me and eat my hair. Today I want to do an animal pose. Day two - the rabbit pose (sasangasana) roughly translates as rabbit. Kneeling on the ground with head curled under, this pose is supposed to stretch your spine. It was a little painful at first but once I leaned into it, the stretching felt a little better, but my head felt a little crushed. I will attempt to do the rabbit at least twice more today when I get home from work and before I go to bed.
Just a picture to make you feel at home, it rained last night and he was trying not to drown.
