I've been encorporating daily morning practices into my daily routine for a week now and feel as though I'm turning into a big puddle of gloopy gloopiness.
My muscles are strong and jump to my bidding, but as soon as my concentration is directed elsewhere e.g. figuring out what pose the instructer is telling me to do; my muscles all turn into sneaky cheats. It's like one of my classes back in secondary school; my concentration is as one of those weak, distracted teachers, and my body is the rebellious class that pounces on each second of inattention as an opportunity to start jumping on tables and throwing balls of paper around the room. The ringleaders are definitely that trickiest set muscles; the core & uddiyanda bhanda.
Little pests.
This can't continue. So, to use my analogy, how would I deal with little problem if I was a teacher? Well... I think routine, ruthless attention and possibly detention and punishment for the bad boys.
Routine
Rather than skipping around hither and thither I'll try to adopt a strict routine in the morning. Variety can perhaps be saved for when my muscles get some muscle memory and stop misbehaving.
Ruthless Attention
With the routine I no longer need to concentrate on external sources so can turn my focus inward to my pesky muscles until they behave.
Detention
After school (work), hold additional classes for those naughty muscles. Core sessions twice weekly in the evening. Work on poses that have recently become problematic (mostly downward dog of all things).
Sounds suspiciously like a plan!
