Day 89: Bikram Yoga

Donna — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 23:01:17 +0000

Wanted to take part two of Kat’s workshop today, but our schedule would not allow it. We were too busy packing and moving furniture today. We did make it to a Bikram class though. It was ridiculously hot and humid, not a very good class for me.

Day 82: Bikram Yoga

This morning my husband and I went to the early class. Boy, I sure noticed a difference from evening to morning. I felt so stiff all over. It was definitely not my best class. It really makes a difference going to yoga when your muscles have already stretched and warmed up throughout the day.

Day 81: Part 2-Bikram

Bow Pose

I decided to go to Bikram tonight with my husband. It was a good class. Not too hot and I was able to really push myself to my edge in all the poses. I noticed the biggest improvement in bow pose. I could really see my feet going high above my head.

Day 78: Bikram Yoga Sweat Lodge

Wow, it was hot tonight. Seemed very humid and just plain hot. Luckily, the instructor felt it too and cracked the door open. It’s hard to have your best practice when you feel like you are going to throw up!

Day 77: Yoga and Body Rolling and also Bikram Yoga today.

I was able to make it to the body rolling yoga class today. Then in the evening, made it to Bikram. I noticed that my knees did not pop when I came out of triangle pose as they usually do. I think this is do to the body rolling class earlier today.

Day 76: Bikram Yoga

Today’s class was great! My lower back felt a little stiff, but other than that I felt great in class! I also drank a Coconut water during class and I am wondering if that really helped me feel better. I’m going to buy some more and test this theory.

Day 75: Regional Yoga Asana Championship

Donna — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:41:40 +0000

Wow! Today Yogi’s and Yogini’s from all over the valley and one from New Mexico, descended upon the Historical Museum Auditorium to demonstrate the beauty of bodies in yoga poses. Everyone was so flexible and amazing in the poses. At the end they had some young yogini’s ages 3-7 demonstrate some poses. They were adorable! I wish they had these more than once a year. The National Competition is in LA in February. I intend to go watch it.

Day 72: Morning Yoga Basics, Evening Bikram

Yoga Kitty

Double Yoga day! Two very good classes! This morning I took a great Basics class with my friend.

Later, I went to Bikram with my husband. It went well, until the last few poses, and then the heat got to me. I was just happy to have finished class today.

Day 69: Bikram Yoga

Donna — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 23:31:07 +0000

Good class, however, this morning I woke up with a pain in my right shoulder. Some of the poses were a little painful for me, but I did the best I could. Tomorrow I will call the chiropractor.

Day 66: Part 2; Bikram Yoga

Donna — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:04:02 +0000

I did an evening bikram class. It felt good to go through the poses I knew after the Ashtanga class today. I started feeling a little woozy at Triangle Pose, so second set I didn’t go as deep in the pose as normal.
