Bikram 60 Day Challenge - 29 and 30 Class

Continuing with the 60 classes in 60 days Bikram Challenge . . . Today I took the 10 a.m. class with Taz, she is very sweet and supportive encourages and corrects . . . does not push me to my limits but I think I learn alot just taking in a class and focusinig on form then pushing myself to my limit.

I decided to do a double today and found Maria and Lisa willing to do a double it was at 12:00 with Mike. I finally figured out the standing bow pose . . . Mike talks about if you are going to fall out of the posture to fall forward . . . normally the word fall would immediately make me fall . . . this time I was prepared . . . I used this to push myself to my limit of this posture . . . yes I did eventually fall out of the posture but it was forward pushing myself to my limit . . . I chose not to take in water during the second class of the day to try and add a bit more focus . . . it helped . . . not every class will I do that but good to try now and then.

Locker Room Talk for Women Only: I love bringing up topics in the locker room . . . today was perimenopause . . . I was surprised how willing these ladies were to share . . . I simply started the topic with night drenches, basically you wake up in the middle of the night and you feel like you have just finished a bikram class . . . totally soaked . . . I thought I was alone on this but I was nothing compared to some of these ladies 2 or 3 times a night being soaked . . . I should count my blessings.
