Today is Day 9! I can’t believe I’ve already made it this long, but I have and there is proof! Inside the studio there is a board with all the 30 day participants names and every time you go to a class you put a star next to your name like in Kindergarten. I have 8 stars and in a few hours will have #9. It’s pretty amazing how gratifying it is to place the sticker, especially since the challenge started with about 30 people and there are significantly less who have actually made it this far. Maybe I’ll be the last one standing?
I’m beginning to feel like a regular, I know most the poses in order (Hatha) and I can do a Vinyassa –chataranga- updog- downdog combo. I have even been in the front row once. I am for sure getting stronger and have advanced some positions beyond the basic versions too, but have learned that once you get the poses – the challenge gets harder as you begin be able to work the stretches deeper instead of just worrying about balance. A few other leanings I’ve had are that it is never ever ever a good idea to come to class on an empty stomach (you will get very dizzy), that it is best to have 2 sets of everything as sweaty yoga clothes from the day before do no always dry out in time and finally, if you tell people you are going to hot yoga every single day for 30 days they will without a doubt think you are crazy!
As always, Namaste.
