Day 14 03.02.13

7.00am (MF)

What an awesome day! I picked up Brooke and Seema early this morning to head to the Parkwood studio and practice there with Miss Michelle. The Parkwood studio has inferred heating which is different to what we have at BP and Jindas, it is intense the first time but today wasn't as bad but it makes the sweat super hot. 

Seema and I walk the wall

Michelle was my first Bonfire teacher so I get excited when I know Ill have her teaching class. I wish I could have a camera on me during class cause when teachers say "you have a beautiful practice" I want to know what that looks like? Are they not looking at me in triangle :).

Pranayama Breathing - I really love how this posture gets me dripping sweat after one set. If I haven't sweated much by second set then I know the room isn't hot enough but that is yet to happen! I love how you can feel your lungs expanding in this posture and I feel it sets me up for having a steady calm breath throughout the whole series. I have just learnt over the pass 6months to actually put weight in the heels and suck the belly in, it makes a big difference. 

I did Full Locust pose the right way today and goodness me you really feel it in your shoulder muscles. I don't remember having any break throughs or concerns during this class, it was just a nice smooth running class.

Great day out in the sun with the two ladies, I am a little sunburnt and in need of some sleep. 

Until tomorrow x
