Took the 6:30 class last night with Tara!! She was awesome, as usual!
For some reason it was hard for me to block out all the distractions during class, but I did the best I could and so my goal was accomplished.
One distraction came from a student that was behind me and to the side, and since we are all facing a mirror I had a full view of them the entire class. I'll be honest, its pretty rare that I notice anyone else in class besides myself, but last night I had to really concentrate on not being annoyed. It was kind of evident that this student was new to the yoga, there were certain things throughout class that I saw them doing and I thought to myself "You're not doing that right, be careful". I had to remind myself to trust that the teacher would be keeping an eye on this student and help them if they were really going to get hurt. That part was probably the hardest, but eventually I was able to not notice as much. One of the reasons I go to yoga (and this might sounds selfish, but so be it) is so that I can focus on myself without worrying about anyone else.
Another distraction was probably a reaction from trying to get over the one described above. My mind kept wondering to topics outside the yoga room. Thinking about friends, family, what I needed at the grocery store, what I was going to do for dinner. It made the class seem to go faster, but again its a distraction. In order to squeeze out as much as I can from class, I try my best to focus on myself without worrying about anyone or anything else.
I do try my hardest not to worry about everything around me, it's really hard and usually I'm not very successful. Isn't it just so much easier sometimes to worry about those around us rather than what's going on with our self?
Until later today.
Stay hydrated my friends
