Bikram Yoga
I went to my very first Bikram Yoga class this morning. Ummm…I’m in love. I’ve heard people talk about finding their “kind” of yoga and I think this is it for me. I loved the heat of the room, I loved how excited the instructor was, I loved the sweating, I loved that it brought my heart rate up by stretching not by jumping around. I loved that I didn’t have to do 1,000 chaturangas (or any for that matter). I have issues with my shoulders and usually too much yoga can really bother them, I don’t think this will. The only part that SUCKED was this pose:
Salabhasana or Locust Pose. O.M.G. My legs where about 2 inches off the ground and my elbows and arms were screaming. Apparently someone in last night’s class was able to do the full Scorpion Pose:
Holy Ow.
I will definitely be going back and SOON!
I woke up at 5 am this morning to take the class. It was windy outside and it continues to be windy. I’m really glad I took these pictures on Sunday:
I don’t think there will be any more leaves left on the trees after today. How amazing is it to live somewhere where there are 4 seasons? I LOVE it! The Bay Area had 2 seasons-Sunny and Rainy. That was it. All the trees here are so beautiful, they sky has been amazing every morning, the crisp cold air-LOVE!
I’m in a good mood, can you tell?
Today I also wrote in my last page of my journal.
I’ve been trying to write 3 pages every morning since June 21st as part of The Artist’s Way. For the most part, I’ve written everyday. I’ve had a few lapses but I really see the benefit of this and try my hardest to write every morning.
With that, I’m going to enjoy this bowl of oats. YOM.
