Thank you, Kristin, for your thoughtful reply.

I guess the thougths

For the last couple of classes, I did try what you suggested, to counter the negative thought with something positive – maybe even have a few phrases “with me” when I go into the hot room… Just to stop the negative thought to “take root”, so to speak.

And I really liked what you wrote about just noticing the “youness”. Certainly a goal to strive for!

Yes, this yoga IS mentally challenging. Just to stand in front of a mirror for ninety minutes was a major challenge to begin with – thankfully I usually get so physically exausted that there’s no room for the negative thoughts after a while… It’s just frustrating when they seem to manage to take over!
