Day 15

    Sorry that I didn't update yesterday. My friend came over and I was busy. Well, this means you get two updates today.

    I am now half way through my 30 day challenge. I am very tired. I showed my friend some of the postures yesterday, not for too long though, since you're not really supposed to do that. I'm still not very impressive though. I am going to have Swedish pancakes again today, but it's much earlier than the class so I think I'll be okay.

Day 14

    When I first started doing yoga about a month and a half ago I got so many corrections. The first thing I thought was "I must be doing everything wrong" and although I wasn't really doing them all right (and I'm not saying that I get them all right now) but I realized that this wasn't completely correct. I noticed that some teachers gave more corrections than others. I realized that if teachers give you a lot of corrections it means they like you. My dad told me this in the beginning but I only realized it a few days ago. If the teachers give you a lot of corrections it means that they want to help you improve. And I noticed that every time a teacher gives me a correction I improve greatly in that posture or have a better understanding of it. I have never actually talked to a teacher about this so I could be completely off, but this is my opinion. So remember, if a teacher gives you a lot of corrections it probably isn't because you're doing everything wrong, it's because the teachers want you to improve. And at least they aren't ignoring you.

Day 13

 Here's some advice that you've probably heard a million times if you do yoga. Drink water before class as well a during. I didn't drink much today and I was getting terrible cramps and headaches.
 Here's the comic I promised you yesterday. I actually drew it last night but it happened to me again today.

Day 12

    Today was average. The teacher today was funny. He corrected my dad a lot. "Mousey's dad, we're not here to eat blueberry cheesecake." He said at one point. I wasn't paying much attention though because the sun kept following me. The first time the sun went in my eye I just moved my mat forward but the second time there wasn't any way to avoid it so I just had to deal with it. I wasn't very happy at that point. But it went away pretty quickly and I was able to do the last few postures in the shade.

    I have received a lot of requests to do more comics. I find this hard because this is a blog about yoga, and yoga is pretty much the same ever class. Every once in a while something funny will happen though. I talked to my dad about it when we were eating dinner tonight and I come up with a plot for a new one. So expect to see it in the next few days.

Day 11

 I thought I'd talk about some individual poses. The first posture, the one where I'm thinking "I hate this posture" in my comic, is not as bad as I once thought it was. I'm still not too crazy about it. I am starting to really like posture before the last breathing exercise. I don't have to lean on my hand anymore. I can now get my heels up of the floor for a short period of time in the one where you have to grab your toes. I'm very proud of that. I have also discovered that the less you move around the easier it is to keep your ballence and stay in the postures longer.

Day 10

 I didnt want to go today. I though, maybe it'll be better once I get there, but it wasnt. It was really, really humid and hot today, and I kept getting cramps in my feet. But now I'm 1/3 of the way trough the 30 day challenge. My mom says that the hard part is done. I hope she's right.

Day 9

 Here's a tip: don't eat Swedish pancakes two hours before going to yoga. Or any heavy foods. I did this today and my stomach hurt so much, I had to take about five breaks.
 Today I found myself thinking about the sci-fi story I'm writing. I work out the details of the story and I think it's a really good time to do this since I can't think of anything that's happening in my real life. I also play songs in my head. Sometimes I try counting but it doesn't really work because I count way too fast.
