Even on such a lame practice day I had highlights: pincha mayurasana was good i.e.
I knew that I would practice till the end, even though it was hard today. When in a group I don't stop in the middle of a practice (group pressure.....hahahaha).
To open the shoulders and the chest is my challenge. Some additional exercises are planned. It is important for urdhva dhanurasana and kapotasana. I have the feeling as if I need 4 more years till I'll be able to do kapotasana. However, to bend backwards feels good.
I do not carry around books in my handbag anymore, so that my shoulder can relax. I don't read anymore during commuting time as it is a bit complicated with my glasses that I need for reading. Why carrying books around then. I can observe my breath when I am bored.....hahahahaha.
Yeah, I'll take a nap now.

Hi! There are a lot of asanas to open your shoulders and cheast. You can try: gomukhasana, adho mukha svanasana, matsyasana and urdhva dhanurasana :)

no hurry, no worries. agree with that.
kapotasana 4 years? no way. just relax & breathe. i find many students freak out in that pose so it is impossible to do. the back won't bend when fear is allowed to manifest.
at least that's my experience.
@Armonia: yes, especially urdhva dhanurasana is great, but here I have the same issue, I must open more when I want to come up to a standing position
@bindifry: this is what M said to me. Something holds me back to open the chest.
