I had another eye surgery in the beginning of August. Around that time I started Humira.
I started Ashtanga yoga again on or around 23 August. Since that time I practice about 5-6 days per week with Suzanne Faulkner at AYCD (Ashtanga Yoga Club Durham). Most days are Mysore style which I've come to prefer. One day, if not two, are Full Led Primary, which is more of a "class," and I always thought I'd prefer that type of practice, but really, I like Mysore. It's like a study hall or science lab where every day is an investigation and we get to work on things we want to work on; on things that will be beneficial to us or our practice.
Suzanne is like a combination of Yoda and Ms. Frizzle from Magic Schoolbus. She's insane, but also insightful and brilliant. She's steady but also electric. I feel like I've finally found a teacher that is there enough for me to grow. And I have. Backhanding has improved. Flexibility and strength have both improved (Suzanne has told me that strength and flexibility are really the same thing).
I haven't missed a day except when I've had to due to work or going to see my parents.
I also run 3-4 days a week. And I will lift 1 or 2 days a week.
So far I have a strain(?) in my left hamstring that doesn't really go away. Also my left knee is clicking. I'm not sure what any of it means. I will try to strengthen my left hamstring a little bit because Suzanne says my left hamstring is way looser than my right, which doesn't make sense, but I'll try it and see what happens.
