Boring run down: -Day 2: Took a Moksha class. A lot of fun backbending. A lot of ab work. Hurt to laugh, move, turn the steering wheel (who knew how much abdominal strength that required?!) etc. the next day.
-Day 3: In a hotel room while my mum and I were cross-border shopping in NY State. Short. Sweet. Abs both screamed/felt great with every single up-dog as the front body stretched out.
-Day 4: Again, minimal. Sun sals. Much hip-opening. Closing. Savasana.
-Day 5: Normal day of rest. Did a restorative practice. It was really nice. Held each pose for 15 breaths. Felt like jello afterwards.
These first five practice of WoYoPracMo have been largely abbreviated, non-hardcore practices. I suspect that once I go back to work on Monday (yes, I’ve been off since December 20 and it’s been glorious) I’ll get back into my usual routine, including full practices — until Ladies’ Holiday strikes late next week when I’ll probably retreat to more restorative stuff for a day or two — or three.

In cross-border shopping news, many deals were had. Canadians are deprived of the wonders of Target, where I was able to pick up my toothbrush heads for $25 for two, as opposed to $40 here. Oh, and I got the kashi granola bars that I’m obsessed with that I can’t get here. Not exciting to most, but definitely exciting to this Canadian.
I was also thrilled to uncover these shoes that I thought existed only in my imagination.Oh, and this suit that was marked down from $320 to $95, pretty proud of grabbing that one.
Back in Canada now. Planning a full practice tomorrow morning. We’ll see how that goes.

Thank you for helping to restore our balance of trade. Until that starts to happen, I’m afraid you’ll be finding good deals down here for many years to come.
