Ran the Katie Loop with some friends this morning . . . breakfast then headed down to 12:00 Bikram with Cheryl. I adore all the instructors, everytime I think I have a favorite, then I find another favorite. Well today Cheryl was my favorite instructor. She has a way of pushing me to my limits with her calm steady voice.
Posture #16 Locust Pose Salabhasana - Thinking back to December 1, 2008 my very first Bikram class, I thought you have to be kidding, there is no way I can lie on my stomach with my arms under by body with my elbows side by side and my palms facing the floor, and they raise not one but both legs off the floor, well today I could feel my right and left elbow touching each other (not that they stayed touching the whole time but they touched!)and yes the legs both of them come off the floor. I am now understanding the roll the shoulders play in this whole deal. 13 months ago my left shoulder was frozen solid . . . so this is quite exciting to me.
Several conversations in the locker room asking about what transformation I had gone through during the 60 day challenge . . . I still have one more day. Physically one gal said you were already in shape . . . yes and no . . . parts of me were in shape . . . it seems like my whole body is stronger physically. Emotionally, yes I am definately much stronger emotionally a lot of emotional cleansing which was extremely painful and at times I'm like this really sucks, it more than sucked, but it was good. Spiritually, fortunately I have always been strong . . . there now seems to be a sense of calmness.
