First the bad news: I took my first fall out of headstand. I literally fell from straight up in the air to flat on my back. The good news: I took my first fall out of headstand. I got over the fear of falling because now I know it's no big deal. At first I thought "oh my gosh, how embarrassing! did anybody see that?" But then I just laughed at myself. Of course everyone saw, but who cares? It didn't hurt, nobody pointed and laughed, and it didn't freak me out and scare me from trying again. Now I feel a sense of safety that I'm going to be okay no matter what. Plus I realized my next step...learning how to gracefully exit from headstand :)
I wish I could say that the rest of class was insightful for me, but it wasn't. I was up late last night and debated on whether to go this morning. I really wanted to just stay in bed but I knew I didn't have time to go to class later today. Usually once I am there, I get into the groove and calm my mind - but today I just couldn't get my mind to shut off. Oh well - I still was there and did it, so day 10 is complete!
Tonight I'm flying to San Francisco and will be there through Sunday. I looked online and found a few yoga studios near where I am staying so I will try to go if the scheduling works out. We have tickets to the NCAA tourney in San Jose which is an hour train ride from our friend's apartment. I don't know if there will be time in the morning to get to class, shower, change, etc. before having to catch the train. If not, I will just practice on my own.
