Yoga Break…Day 9

So my friend failed to inform me that she was a certified Bikram Yoga instructor.  Which means while I was struggling to get my fingertips to touch the tops of my shoe laces, she had her head poking through her legs, laughing at me.  Disappointing, slightly humiliating but somehow enticing…. I’m glad I went.

All in all it was a great workout.  It was no P90x Yoga workout (yes, I tried that program last year and it is TOUGH!) but it was still challenging.  At the end of the workout, I felt more centered.  It is surprisingly addicting.  Besides, if I ever plan on reaching pencil level of flexibility I need to keep pushing myself and this class was a great way to do it.

As always, time is a factor.  This class is at 7:30 which is just about as awkward of a time slot as possible.  I can’t do Insanity before it because my head will still be spinning and I might throw up during the upward dog to downward dog transition. I can’t do Insanity after because I won’t be able to sleep with my heart pounding at 200 bpm.  However, if something is important to you, you will make time for it.  I will figure something out.
