Day 28 17.02.13

8.00am (SN)

Phew, I thought I was going to die today. Last time we had Sarah Napels everyone hated life and didnt come back to the following week thinking she would be teaching - she does a hard class. But thank goodness she's been on holidays and wasn't 100% about how to use the heaters today. It felt cold as soon as we hit floor series, so much so it felt like the aircon was on  and all my sweat stopped dripping. 

Having a class at 8am is nice because the body has had more time in the morning to wake flex and bend a bit more than doing a class at 6am. I was next to Trudy this morning (front right hand side) and I find whenever I am next to her I end up being more strict with myself because her practice is amazing and still. 

Standing Separate Head to Knee killed me today, I was shaking so much and I was finding it hard to tuck my forehead to my knee. 

I was practicing my headstands after class and I have it finally in the bag. I just need to practice without looking at the mirror and without a wall behind me. 

2 more classes to go wahoooo....but really looking forward to trying class in Melbourne - Fitzroy. 

Until tomorrow x

Day 27 16.02.13

6.00am (RD)

HAPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SUE, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU...Yep, we had to sing that twice during Triangle today haha Ive never done that before and boy it was funny...talk about not being able to breathe much. 

Sharon (a Karma yogi like me) tried the back row on the left side and we both found it difficult. Its good to change it up as well to encourage newbies to try the front. 

Regi said my Cobra was better so Im happy for that, I swear I feel her eyes on me sometimes so I end up pushing myself more beyond what I thought I could do. My standing bow felt amazing, I really emphasised the reach for the mirror and then I noticed my shoulders disappeared, AH HAH I get it!

Doing a 6am class is something I would like to get used to because its such a challenge to be super bendy at that time of the day. 


I cant believe this experience is almost over. I will be doing it at least one more time this year or a 60 day one, but I need to get back to the gym for some more squatting. 

Until tomorrow x
