Hi Nadira

Sometimes you just need to concede that you need a rest. Practising everyday is wonderful but if you’re feeling lethargic then you need to take a day or 2 off. That is yoga. Going against what your body is telling you is not being mindful or self aware.

Please, consider doing 2 less classes this week. And then try one less class per week next week. And see how you’re feeling. Then come back and report.

Of course I haven’t asked you anything about your nutrition, your electrolytes, or your emotional well being. So if there’s anything else you want to share, then please do.

Namaste
Gabrielle 🙂

Basically you are expending more energy than your body has available which is dangerous imo. If you want to go everyday then your diet has to be at a premium. Coffee, cola, fatty foods etc wont give you the energy you require or allow the proper absorption of nutrients from your food intake. At the celluar level if your potassium / sodium balance is out of wack then your energy will be also. Try eating bananas ! which have lots of natural sodium and potassium. Cut out all crappy food. Eat lots of raw fruit and veg. Also I’m not a believer in going every day as I think the body needs at least one day of rest to recover. Not even elite athletes train so hard every day. One other thing 🙂 if you are a guy then one way to conserve energy is to keep your semen in your body for periods of time ! so you can look into this. Cheers
