My challenge ended last Friday at 5:30 PM. Thank you to all the yogis who congratulated me. My special thanks go to Elaine, Debby and Adam who always give me a smile when I walked in the studio.
I must admit 60 days was a bit long, but also must admit that I enjoyed every day and every minute of it. I feel my postures have improved and I now get more benefit from each posture. I know how to align my hips, relax my shoulders, keep my eyes open, lift my right or left buttock up, I really try to touch not my nose or eye but my forehead to my knee, and concentrate when Elaine calls for tremendous concentration.
I randomly stumbled into a Bikram yoga studio sometime in 2008. I really did not know what "hot yoga" meant. Boy, was it hot in there. It was hot hot. My lungs were burning and I could not drink enough water during the class and afterwards. I found the first class so challenging that I decided I would never go back. As challenging as it was, there was also a part of me enjoyed it very much and wanted to experience it again. After few classes I found myself looking forward to everyday. Today I practice Bikram Yoga every day and lack of a better term I am hooked.
Bikram Yoga is a perfect combination of concentration, strength, balance, discipline and good work out. I encourage everyone to give a chance to Bikram Yoga. For me it is a life long journey. I will keep practicing it as often as I can which may mean every day:)
