Day II

Day 2 of yoga and preparation for class. Started reading AG Mohan's "Yoga for Body, Breath, and Mind."

Pranayama was slightly different because I introduced a brief hold after exhale, and had a llttle trouble toward the end with coughing. The count is now 4 in, hold 2, 6 out, hold 2. Still experiencing moderate amounts of oxygen debt with the controlled breathing. Concentration has been good (there's a lot to concentrate on).

Asanas are going well. Shoulder and back are both somewhat better, especially the back. The shoulder still hurts when I do some movements that are part of ardha matsyendranasana and trikonasana.
