Today counts as day number zwei in my week of yoga. I woke up with tender shoulders and knew that the yoga was working. Perhaps the residual soreness is another reason I postpone getting back into my groove: I know it’s gonna hurt! But it’s a good pain that usually goes away ten to fifteen minutes into my next practice.
At 12:05 this afternoon I unrolled my mat, lit up the ipod and got to work. Today’s music was a cocktail of Bon Iver songs, the surprise highlight being “Wisconsin,” which almost reduced me to tears. Honestly, something about that fuzzy song struck a chord with me today. A little over an hour after I started I was laying in savasana just thinking about how grateful I was for the meditative quiet hour. Thus far, my yoga week has been a rousing success.
I believe I have shared Bon Iver recently so instead I will leave you with a song that I heard earlier today at Kudu Coffee House, only a few blocks from my place. This song features on Ultimate Playlist #11, which is in pretty regular rotation around here. Right in the middle of a thunderstorm (the closest I came to seeing fireworks this holiday weekend) “You Know What I Mean” came on and I found it was the perfect tune to accompany the mid-morning shower. Enjoy!*
*Not exactly sure what the movie scene has to do with the song, but I kind of like it.
