“Three breath Change”

Learned a very important tool today. My yoga teacher kept asking us to do things in a “three breath change” What a great thing. You can accomplish so much in a three breath change, in yoga, in life…in anything! This will be a useful tool whether at work or in training. Also finally understood how yoga really takes you apart. Really minute changes in position, balance, etc. can really affect how you feel the stretch/energy flow. This realization has so many applications across my even - rowing, riding, fencing – all of these require micro-level control, whether it be a muscle group, balance, or mental focus.

After yoga did weights for the first time in MONTHS! I used data from the last time I kept track (for rowing), which was…yikes…September of 98. Got back home and did my usual cleaning requirement. I have a bad habit of letting everything go and then needing to clean it before being to sit down and get any home/reading type work done. Cleaned everything up and cleared up my desk, then set into to do some excel sheets for my weights training. I’m not intending to get big, but I do like the idea of tracking progress. And…started my diary! Checked out Adam Holland’s diary on Rower’s World for a little inspiration. I’m looking forward to movies with Ron and Dave tonight.
