Injuries and egos, or how I learned to back off without giving up.

It was about 5 chaturangas in. Even though it was early in class my triceps were already screaming. Lately, I’ve been able to hold this pose nice and low and strong. Thursday was an exception and my while my body was trying to tell me, I refused to heed. I was taking my plank to the floor when I felt fiery twinge in my right shoulder. It happened fast, but I knew immediately that I had gone a bit too far and my posterior deltoid was paying the price.
