One Week Out

Good Evening, Its 950pm on a Monday night. I have just got home and ready for bed after an express class tonight. I had such an amazing class tonight that I feel the need to get some words out. 

I am so grateful to be apart of a studio that has so much love. I have made many new friends, from fellow workers, to new teachers that come and go and the best of all the other students who have the same passion as I do and I just LOVE to sit and talk to them to hear their experiences that this yoga has given them. My friends think I am a bit over enthuses when I get on the topic of Yoga so I find it exciting to speak with others about it. 

Some days I don't think I will be alright to do class because I didn't get enough sleep or that I have sore muscles - I have even eaten before class on purpose to try and tell the teacher "I cant do class I just ate", to just get told "you will be fine just push through", turns out I was OK and survived, but no matter what excuses I come up with I always find myself at the studio and having some break through during class (too bad I cant high-five anyone during class because that's what I feel like doing sometimes).

As many teachers will tell you before commencing class "set your intention for your 90 minute open eye meditation", I then tell myself which posture I want to kick-ass in. Today was Triangle because it has been giving me such trouble since before Christmas. I have had a slightly sore back all day at work and I thought for sure I would have a below average class but then my body got in that hot room and just melted with happiness dripping sweat by half moon and I was able to finally get into Triangle and hold the posture on both sides for the full minute. Hallelujah!!!!

I have spoken to a few regulars at the studio trying to get the word around for people to join me on this 30 day challenge and so far I have recruited 3 others so I can imagine the fun we will have.
