A gift to myself - 108 Surya Namaskara on a full moon day :) It was the first time I did Surya Namaskara alone without being a part of any group to motivate myself. I woke up around 4.30 in the morning and unrolled my yoga mat at 4.55 with 10 sketch pens to my left. I started doing Surya Namaskaras at 5 sharp, telling myself that I would not think about whether I could do 108 or not. I told myself to just breathe in and breathe out and to focus on doing just 10 Surya Namaskaras. After every 10 Surya Namaskaras I would move one sketch pen to my right. I deliberately avoided seeing how many sketch pens were there on each side till there were only 2 pens remaining on my left.
I kept concentrating on my breath while doing each asana and that helped me to complete 108 Namaskaras without stopping. And the fact that I did not worry about how many I had completed and how many more I had to do was the biggest factor in me enjoying doing the asanas.
Am happy to start another year this way :)
