Are you up for the challenge?

Today was a good class. My husband started his 30 day Bikram challenge. I’m excited to see what results he finds. He will do Bikram yoga every day for the next 30 days. Yeah!!!

Today was fun because I took class with my husband. It felt a little hotter than normal. I think my internal temperature has risen a bit and I am more sensitive to the heat. I think my husband might try the 30 day challenge. Tomorrow is the 1st and that would be a perfect day to start!

I really started class strong today. However, my energy tanked right after the balancing series. It was like a little switch had turned off and I did the rest of class on “empty”. Overall, class felt good. I am noticing my flexibility improving as well.

Today was a good Bikram class. It seems that by alternating different types of yoga classes, my practice becomes stronger.

Hot yoga was introduced to the United States in the late 70s by Bikram Choudhury, who states in his book “Bikrams Beginning Yoga Class” that his series of scientifically developed postures will cure chronic diseases and heal medical and emotional problems.

Today I woke up exhausted from my neighbor playing her music so loud at 3am! I also felt a little congested and thought the best thing for me would be a good ol’ Hot Bikram class. It was a hard class today because I was so tired. I’m still feeling a bit under the weather tho’.

Today I took a Bikram yoga class and I made a mental note to myself to check in with my ankles.   I mentioned earlier that my ankles had been feeling really stiff before I started doing my daily yoga practice. I was hoping yoga would help, and now I can attest to it! My ankles feel normal again and the tingling has stopped as well. A few days ago I noticed the tingling sensation and I was hoping that was a good sign. Today I believe it was! Yeah Yoga!

Great class today. Felt strong in the poses. Good energy. Teacher set a nice pace that was really good for me as well. Really helped make this class a strong one. Sometimes if teachers take too long or too short of a time to set up for a pose, I notice this can effect how I feel in the poses.
