In the womb room I was told to have no expectations of the class and of my body. Hearing that made me feel safe, comfortable and accepting of whatever would be. The hotter it got in the womb room the more I sweat and more and more I felt deeply connected to myself.

After 6 hours of classes in 5 days my body is sore and feels heavy. I want to go back to class today to connect with that place inside myself I have only yet to see on the 4 corners of my mat.

Experiencing the fatigue and the pain in last nights class I know I need a day of rest to honour what I have asked and pushed my body to do. This is where the frustration of being out of shape and really inflexible comes in. I want to return to the womb room today but know I won’t be able to ask much of my body today and because I have unrealistic expectations for myself – I feel like a bit of a failure.
