Online classes

I’ve a subscription for Kino’s omstars.com channel. From time to time I buy a yoga class. Today I tried to practice with the video. It’s difficult for me. When I practice I put my glasses off. In order to see the instructions and poses I need my glasses. When I finally know what to do the next pose is announced. I also try to follow the teacher while on my mat. Then I have to turn my head to the screen. This brings me out of a proper alignment.

My solution: I write down the main asanas and implement them in my daily practice.

I faced a similar issue in the vinyasa classes. Sometimes the teacher turned on music. I don’t like this spiritual music. To listen to these music and to the teacher at the same time was impossible. At my age I cannot hear so good anymore. In order to being able to follow the instructions I watched other students. I picked a person who seemed to be advanced and I copied her asanas. This usually feels very awkward. I stopped going to vinyasa classes with music.

Online classes are a solution during Corona times. I learn a lot from the classes. Yet I either practice or I watch. Sometimes I watch the videos several times to remember the suggested asanas and sequences.

Since yesterday night we’re at home again. My throat was a bit sore this morning. It was cold yesterday in the north. I had not much energy for my practice. One hour I was on the mat, then I gave up, I took a shower and bought fruit. I wanted to have a healthy breakfast. Finally again. No industrial sugar, no white bread, no jam. As fast as possible I want to get back to my fine-tuned healthy routines.
