Bikram Hawaii Kai - class #105
Sunday 6 pm w/ Manny
Home Practice - Baptiste (70 min) #106
Monday
Did the Baptiste DVD, "Power Yoga Level 2 - The Next Challenge", tonight. So far it is my favorite non-Bikram workout. He incorporates most of the 26 postures from the Bikram sequence (or at least variations thereof) along with several additional poses into a vinyasa flow series that is pretty strenuous, but really enjoyable. Lots of "plank position" and "downward dog" so my shoulders are burning a little.
I only did 3 studio workouts last week so my goal is to do 5 this week. Shouldn't be too tough. I am just really liking alternating studio days w/ non-studio days. So it will be interesting to see how my body responds to going to the studio 3 days in a row.
I am feeling really good. School is a bitch right now and I don't know how I'd be able to deal with the stress if it wasn't for the daily yoga. I've been sort of wondering why in the world I wouldn't keep practicing every day after the 101 days are up. It hasn't really been a struggle at all. I will have to see how I feel 12 or so weeks from now. But I'm predicting that I'll be even more addicted to getting my daily yoga glow.

"I've been sort of wondering why in the world I wouldn't keep practicing every day after the 101 days are up." Now THAT'S what I like to hear!! Hooray! That was my feeling too... can't believe it's been almost 2 years now since I did my first "30 day challenge" and basically forgot to stop... ;-)
ReplyDeleteI just feel so much better w/ the yoga. Why would I not take the time to make sure I feel this good everyday? It's kind of a no-brainer. The challenge is more about developing the habit and proving to myself that I *can* find a way to make time each day for my yoga practice.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were in school. What are you taking?
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm taking an anatomy & Physiology lab. I took the lecture last semester and this is SO much harder. It's only one unit but it's a whole semester compressed into six weeks.
