Day 12 01.02.13

5.30pm (RD)

Welcome home Regina!!!!! We had a nicely packed class tonight to welcome home one of our head teachers who has been on a holiday in her home town Montreal, Canada. 

I have left class feeling awesome and glad to have sweated so much, after minimal yesterday. 
In eagle posture we did have one girl pop her knee out and back in. Lucky we had Seema in class with us so she was able to assist the young girl an Regi could continue with class. 
Which leads me to...you can be SUPER flexible in this yoga and do great postures and all but what some people need to learn is to use our strength to prevent injury like hyper extending your leg in Standing forehead to knee, if you aren't locking your knee the posture hasn't begun.  

I had a thought during class that reminded me of something Dr A said one, that when you practice this yoga for so long you develop a love for it so much that you want to teach it. I want to teach this yoga so much! I will one day make it to teacher training in Los Angeles and experience the intense 9 week program, it will be amazing! I have my Hot Yoga Master Class book next to me so I am going to do some reading. 

Corrections: 
Half moon - right hip more forward
Triangle - right hip down more

Feeling great being nearly half way through the challenge. I nearly forgot to tell you, I haven't had coffee for 12 days as well, been drinking tea instead! I thought at work I would die without it...NOPE! Doing just fine!
