It's Not Just You.

I don't feel like going to Yoga, either. Watching TNT's chronic output of cops shows and eating leftovers is my life practice at the moment. The only posture I can work myself up to do is savasana. Here's what Mr. Iyengar has to say about it:

In this asana the object is to imitate a corpse. Once life has departed, the body remains still and no movements are possible. By remaining motionless for some time and keeping the mind still while you are fully conscious, you learn to relax. This conscious relaxation invigorates and refreshes both body and mind. But it is much harder to keep the mind than the body still. Therefore, this apparently easy posture is one of the most difficult to master.


Ah, yes. "Fully conscious." Tuning in and out of phoned-in dialogue is not waking me up. Maybe I ought to take a nap.
