So unsexy to be tired. It’s something to get over as quickly as possible but how?
A band-aid yoga pose is viparta karani (legs-up-the-wall), which can include Supta Upavistha Konasana (5 min.), Supta Baddha Konasana (5min.), Supta Sukhasana (3 min. each side) for a little more than 20 min. total.
In emergency situations, add inversions like Supported Sarvangasana and Supported Halasana, and even Setubandhasana on bolsters, all held for timings.
A long yoga nidra, perhaps with the head bandaged can work well.
Tiredness is ultimately pointing towards something so maybe we shouldn’t be in such a hurry to get over it.
I keep forgetting that I had major surgery only a little over 9 weeks ago, was very anaemic afterwards, and maybe I’m not bouncing back as quickly as I’d imagined.
Probably I need to be reminded that I’m not quite ready for big gardening jobs, like digging trenches with a mattock.
(It was fun at the time!)

Hi Eve
I’m just trying this out for the first time (slow adopter). The Tired blog, and the others, are compassionate and life-enhancing reading – how about ‘take it easy on the mattock’ as a phrase?
Look after yourself and hullo to Daniel

Slow but steady, that’s what we like.
Nice to hear from you, Mark. We will be at the yogis’ breakfast next Saturday, as we are kitty sitting for Martin & Carole in North Sydney.
Hope we can see you!
Love,
Eve
