Day 17 06.02.13

7.00pm (SM)

As you read this post you have to listen to this song, cause right now I am listening to it with the biggest smile on my face, ohhh I love 1960's music! 

Oh glorious Yoga how I am addicted to thee!! I got my "Bikram Choudhury Bikram Yoga" book today in the mail...so excited. I have so much to read and learn, I figure if I learn all this now, then come teacher training I will have more insight, plus it will better my own practice. 

WAHOOOOO tonights class was packed - 53 people with 10 newbies. The energy was amazing and everyone practiced great stillness around me. One newbie behind me was doing so well, she was trying every posture even if she didn't get into it fully she just kept getting right back into the posture - so good to see that in a newbie.  

Highlight of the night was Seema letting us hold Camel...I was kinda hoping she would do this so Im glad I got this little challenge in during class. I have this feeling when I get out of this posture like I am sinking within a coffin (bad way to explain it but oh well), I feel like I am in a nice little tight box sinking below the ground - It feels an absolutely awesome feeling. 

Oh golly, Standing Head to Knee - this posture for my right leg is harder than my left. It could have to do with my different length arms or something, Im not 100% sure what it is, but I am unable to bend my arms below my calves like I can on me left leg. So I am really trying to kick out in this posture and see where this is going wrong.




I am venturing out and trying new postures of yoga and I am having fun learning what my body can do. I tried scorpion by going from head stand and getting a feel for flat palms and it was a crazy feeling - looking forward to getting that down pact. 

Not much to write tonight other than it was amazing and for a minimal sleep I have had over this challenge I am surprised I am not worn out by now. Yay for ENERGY!


Until tomorrow x
