Wow! Life is always amazing. Last post I was just beginning a 60 day challenge of Bikram yoga. Initially I thought about doing 90 classes in 60 days. After a few weeks it was pretty clear that that wasn’t happening. So I’ve got in around 53 days, but I’m at about 49 classes. There have been some days when the spirit and the body just weren’t into it. As of today it’s been about a week since I’ve practiced. Feels good to get a chance to recuperate. Maybe tomorrow I’ll get back in the hot box and begin again.
This is what I do know. Over the past two months I’ve made a ton of improvements in my postures. Things are changing, and practicing consistently will help those changes continue down a good path. What I’m eating has a huge effect on how I feel about doing yoga. Somehow I’ve got to figure out how to be satisfied with a good salad for lunch, and cut out the sugar.
So although I didn’t complete this challenge the results are still worth the time and effort. Bikram yoga looks like Hatha Yoga, but it is very much Raja Yoga as well.
Philip,
Just starting my 60 day challenge (Savannah got a Bikram studio a few weeks back!) Like that this is going on now! Stay strong- just a few more days!

Scott, it’s definitely a life changing experience. Thanks for the encouragement and best wishes on your challenge.
once I get over my current bout of agoraphobia, I’ll come do some yoga with you. I do make a killer salad. Wanna come over for a salad?
