I woke up early without snoozing the alarm for the second day in a row! wOOt *pats self on back* :D It’s nice to workout in the mornings as I have the whole gym (almost) to myself and I don’t waste as much time tokking kok :p

In 20 minutes, do as many rounds as possible of:
5 Knees To Elbows
10 KB Swings @ 24kg(M), 16kg(W)
15 Double Unders
Result: 7 rounds (5, 10, 10) subbed DU’s with TJ’s
I know I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again. I GOTTA MASTER DOUBLE UNDERS YO!

Rushed over to beyoga straightafter for a 1-hour session of Yin Yoga. According to www.beyoga.my “yin yoga….is slow paced and usually a pose is being held for about 2 – 3 minutes…allows the body to open deeper thus letting that process of releasing the joints and connective tissues to happen gradually….helps you to slow down and remember who you are”.

Sounds like some new age mumbo jumbo? Cynical ones may think so but I experienced it for myself today. At the end of the class while we were holding the last pose, I actually teared. As in eye ducts tears and not muscle tearing -____-”. Thought it was mighty weird when that happened as I wasn’t feeling particularly sad or emotional.

Spoke to Ninie about it when I went back to the apartment and she said that this is normal for yoga classes with a lot of hip opening poses as that’s where most of the tension is as normally people don’t stretch that body part. These poses apparently helps one to release toxins from the body and for certain people, emotional toxins as well.

In hindsight, I should’ve just let the tears flow instead of holding it in. Would’ve been a relief to have a good cry over nothing. Seriously :p
