Post ....detox Primary

Got up this morning thinking I'd do a simple Vinyasa Krama tadasana routine. That went OK so figured, why not, some basic standing stretches which turned into the Ashtanga standing series. Still OK, do some suryanamaskaras and call it a day but they turned out nice and light, positively floaty, wondered how jump backs might feel.....

So the first bit of Primary led into the marichi's and then after navasana I really wanted the rolling around on the spine so carried on through the kurmasanas to kukkutasana and by then figured I might as well head on to finishing.

Thing is, it was all so light and pretty much effortless, what's that all about, i should have been weak as a daisy no? In one of the jump throughs the first high one I do for the janu's I almost flew right over the top, misjudging completely how light and airy I was.

I'd checked before practice I'd dropped 2 kilo from the... gastroenteritis detox, but that's what, a bag of sugar, surely that shouldn't make a difference. And yet if I look in a mirror I'm thinner, trimmer all over. Perhaps the detox takes the gunk from all over your body and just allows the muscles to work more efficiently.

I really don't know, I've done a couple for the hell of it, mainly for the discipline involved, to focus the mind as it were. Not so interested in the losing weight aspect but I'm curious about whether they really do allow the body to work more efficiently.

So that was this morning, was feeling a lot better most of the day, still not 100% but getting there.
