Take your time

Last night class was not hot enough. The humidifier was not on and the heater was blowing on me making my throat dry. I do not know if I will ever be able to say that again. So I will say it one more time. Class was not hot enough.

Our teacher taught me a trick during Janushirasana (head to knee pose). He said don't hurry. Reach out and grab your foot before you put your head to your knee. Look at your foot and pull your heal off the ground. Slowly turn your head to you knee. Take your time.

I am always so rushed in that pose and it was a nice reminder that the final expression of the pose is not always the most important part.
