Day 8

Weather: Still in Brrr-town, USA
Today's Overall Feeling: Super hung over. :|

yeah. That's what happened. I had a lot of fun that involved Shabu Shabu, karaoke, and alcoholic consumption. Good times. The questions relating to the evening turn from "How much fun was that!?" and "Can we do it again!?!" to "Why did I do that?" and "When will the pain stop?".  Annette said in class once, that we should know our priorities. In this case, I knew my priorities then lost sight of them as I sipped my brain to waver.

Yoga for hangovers.
ardha matsyendrasana, seated twist
Is there such a thing? After seeking it out I found that Ardha Matsyendrasana (Lord of the Fish Pose, best name ever), seated twist, could be a good way to wring out some of that funk. It's supposed to support healthy digestion. Also brings some energy to your body as you compact everything together, hold it for a bit, then release to the other side.  I think that it also helps that you are sitting so you don't have to worry about balance.

I also did about 25 minutes of Upavista Konasana, see day 7. 20 minutes of Baddha Konasana with my back against the couch. and that was it for today.  I can't say that the poses made me feel miraculously better since my hangover revisited me several times through out the day. I think the moral of this story is, you have to pay to play. Wha-bam. Tomorrow will be better, I promise.
