Yoga Overload?

Is there such a thing as too much yoga? I have not come to a conclusion yet... still pondering.

This morning, I went to Jenn W.'s 10:30 Hatha Flow class. Heather from work was there again. We did some partner yoga which was fun and allowed for Heather and I to assist each other in the partner yoga. It also helps that Heather and I are about the same size.

I don't know what exactly it is that draws me to Jenn's class. She isn't as poetic as Sanieh. However, she talks about yoga as you would talk about what you are having for dinner. Yoga just flows out of her mouth so naturally. We did a little bit of Yin Yoga where you stay in a comfortable yoga position for a while, letting your body relax into it. Then we did a flow. Pranayama: left nostril breathing, but first with nadi shodna to clear the passage ways. Then Yin Yoga again to settle our bodies down.

At 12 noon, we had our Yoga Yoga Hatha Yoga Teacher Training session. Kewal introduced us to the Ashtanga lineage, and we did a small and short Ashtanga practice. Following that we talked about the significance of sun salutations and then did a practice entirely around sun salutations.

Today I felt like I had taken 3 yoga asana classes. I feel great, but my body is a littel tired.
