Time Trapped

Today I think I planned on biting off much more than I could chew. I just got my Yoga book yesterday and decided in order to finish the book in the allotted time that I would read 25 pages today which I believed would take about 30 minutes. I also planned on using 50 minutes of class to research yoga poses but I ended up forgetting my computer so I decided I would read in class and do the yoga poses as homework. But the reading took all class and I just spent a while finishing it. I think it's taking so long because I'm really thinking about what the author is saying but so far I am enjoying the book. I have already learned so much in just the first 25 pages. What i found most interesting was how a man locked himself in a small container for 40 days without food or anything and was able to survive. This man was a true 'yogi'. I later learned that they did this by breathing only about 3 times per minute before they went into the tight space. This yogi who spent 40 days might be a myth but I still think it's fascinating that yogis were thought to be able to do the impossible. And I think it's interesting that it's changed immensely today and you are not a magician if you are a yogi, but rather just looking to get some excursive.  I will plan to start researching yoga poses tomorrow. From today I have learned that I need to allow myself more time because I can not always do things as quickly as I may think I can.
