it takes so much discipline to maintain a strong practice through life's various dramas, especially when you're a wanderer, with no solid community to depend on for support; no studio, no accountability in the form of a teacher or friends. lately, especially after being injured, i've been going through the motions more often than not. i've been hanging in there, but my hearts not really in it. all the things that come with that; sluggishness, restlessness, weakness, distraction, have started to creep in. i had a teacher who used to say, "come to yoga everyday, skip a day, skip two -fine but then come back. after two days off your matt, the wheels start to fall off." i don't think my wheels have fallen off yet.... but they're definitely losing air.
