Yoga Experiment Day 2

I did it again last night. If I hadn't promised to, I would have been very tempted to flake out. By the time I'd gotten sorted, I was only ready to start at about midnight. See, first I had to finish my room, then I had to talk to Mum, and then I had to pat my dog, who growled at me, probably to tell me to get started already. The practice would have been easier if I didn't have to stop to blow my nose every five seconds (a reaction from the dust in my room). And I couldn't do all the bending over things because my head was foggy and I didn't want the tear-like drips from my nose to become a safety hazzard on the mat.

I find it curious how twisting your hands around a certain way can cleanse the heart and lungs, or how bending over can cleanse the digestive system. Weird things like that.

By the time I was lying down at the end, I was almost asleep. I went to bed and dropped off almost straight away, slept deeply for about twenty minutes, woke up for about twenty minutes to blow my nose a few times, then slept deeply all through the night.

When I woke up my nose was more or less behaving itself. Maybe that was the result of yoga or a decent sleep or just my allergies wearing off. Dunno. I think I'll only know the effects of yoga for sure after documenting the effects over a decent amount of time.

I do like doing yoga at night. Otherwise I pretty much go straight from the computer to bed, and that makes my mind too active. Yoga slows me down.
