As well, how is your body feeling today? Even during the day, our feelings change periodically. These feelings range from negative to low to neutral to postive to high. Feelings can also be considered physically and emotionally. Are we aware of our feelings? Are we also aware of how our bodies are feeling?
You wake up in the morning, you feel groggy because your body didnt have a restful night. Your BODY feels tired. You go to work happy but sitting in front of the computer for too long makes your shoulder feel sore. YOU feel tired.
How you feel and how your body feels are related and are totally significant in our practice. However, do you ever listen to your body and gage your physical yoga practice on how your body feels at the moment?
This maybe something you have never tried, if that's the case, starts being more aware of the difference between how YOU feel and how your BODY feels. IF, you have been aware of how your body is feeling during your practice, I find the next stage would be to be more aware of how every posture makes you feel physically and emotionally.
Every posture has the uniqueness of it's physical and emotional funtionalities. If you are more aware of what every posture does to you, you probably would have no time to "worry" about the heat in the room. Hence, the 90 min in the hot environment would not become an issue at all. Switch your focus internally towards your mind and body and you will not notice the heat factor. It's about focusing. It's about connecting your mind and your body. It's about bring out the awareness in you. Most of all, the 90 min is about YOU.
