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 [...] Read more »
Day 6, 7 & 8 Bikram Yoga 60 Day Challenge
4:30PM Class 11 Day 6 There was a new teacher for this class. A lovely young lady named Nicole who taught a very precise dialog. The room was full, hot, and humid.

Bikram Yoga 60 Day Challenge Day 2
9:00AM Class 3 I woke up this morning feeling energized, excited, and sore. Yeah, Bikram’s torture chamber will do that to you. Molly taught this morning. Her classes are always fun.

Bikram Yoga 60 Day Challenge
Day 1 I’ve been fairly pleased with my Bikram workouts over the past year. My 90 day challenge at the beginning of 2009 was a huge achievement for me, and I managed to practice fairly consistently for the rest of the year. This year I’ve begun twice to just “go every day.” A promise which [...] Read more »
