I like it hot... and intense

I am nonsensical. I'd like you to know that.

After almost a year of doing prenatal (read GENTLE) yoga, I decided to treat myself by jumping back into the fray again and take a non-preggo yoga class. Did I go to a nice beginner's course as a refresher? NOPE. Did I go back to the studio I've attended for years and take a class with a known teacher ( Read more... )

fun, bikram, yoga, exercise, 2008

That's wonderful! Congratulations on the determination!

I wish you much sweaty luck (tempered with regard/respect for your body, of course)!

yes yes, I have to respect the bod. It's hard sometimes, though. Because the mind also tells me, "MMMM hot cocoa 3x/day" which is not healthy, so I must combat it with physical challenges.

Speaking of which... could you IMAGINE how much money we'd make if we made an adult physical fitness obastacle course a la double dare? we could charge people to go through it and get fit.

Oh wait... that's American Gladiators.

"Leave. Leave now and give up. You can't do this. You're too out of practice. You're going to hurt yourself." But I didn't listen. I forced myself to stick with it, to get over it.

That's what my mind is ALWAYS saying to me. I admire your tenacity.

Thanks! It's hard to balance with knowing if my body is actually being pushed too far, though. But yes, my mind is my greatest enemy.

O sweet! I'm going to start doing Bikram again this winter! The studio in Columbia is really nice but I'll totally come sweat with you in Hampden, too! It IS crazy intense but it feels good at the same time! I'm hoping it will help with my winter grumpies.

I'd love you to take a class with me! I was thinking of you yesterday, as it was like hot yoga boot camp. I LOVED it. Man, I am such a sicko, hehe. No happy, lovey yoga for me.

I bought a month unlimited pass, so let me know if you want to go with me in the next month.

Hey you!

Have to talk it over with Timmerz to see when he's comfortable taking Story, but I'm thinking right after the Xmas holiday should work! Right now I'm SO rusty and Story is still at every 2 hr feedings, it's hard to break away for practice during week nights, but I think we should have a good flow by then.
