Day 3

What I did: a little over an hour of Pilates on the equipment
Intention: To reconnect and explore
Result: Joy, comfort, challenge
Is there anything else?"
Mentally, I do Pilates every day....in/on someone else's body. I fall out of the practice on my own, but everytime I go back to it, I am a little dissappointed...because it feels so good...I'm dissapointed that I don't take the time to disconnect from all the distractions and practice the method every day. When I got back to my desk, I was so relaxed, and sitting upright in front of my computer was easy. My workout was a little more like a jazz riff than a classical routine. I started with footwork, skipped the 100's and played around with shortspine, spent about 45 minutes on the ladder barrel, discovered a connection between the tension in my right hip and the articulation (of lack therof) of my right toes. When I run and swim, I'm in unfamiliar territory and I feel insecure. I know I won't always feel this way if I keep practicing. When I am in working in Pilatestown, there are too many lovely things to explore and focus on, to allow for those feelings.
