different day, different body

It's really interesting how your body can feel different from day to day.  Yesterday morning I went to a Hatha class and I was feeling very dizzy & light headed.  It was frustrating because I really wanted to do my best in class, but I kept having to lay down on my mat.  I'm not sure what was causing it - I could have been dehydrated, or it could have been from eating & drinking too much this weekend. 

Whatever it was, it seems to have passed because this morning in class I felt back to my normal self.  I guess it's just a good reminder that every day is different and just because you do yoga every day, doesn't mean that it gets easy.  There will always be challenging days and there will always be something new to learn.

Today after class I asked the instructor, Sean, for tips on how to shoot back from Crow to Chaturanga.  He had me practice trying to move one leg at a time.  It was really hard - the first couple of tries, I wasn't able to do it but then it started clicking.  I then tried to do both legs at the same time...hoping I would magically get it, but I didn't.  I tried a few more times and then called it a day.  Now I have a way to practice so I'll spend a few minutes each day and hopefully soon it will click.
