Day 10- Completed

Half way there, Day 10

It's time to send in for a lil' Livin on a Prayer...because ooooohh "we're halfway there".

Yesterday's class, the marker of my half way point through the 20-day challenge, was absolute perfection. Not only did my boots find their way back to me, but we had the visiting instructor from last Thursday who I really enjoy. I now know that her name is Megan, and she has been practicing Bikram for 7 years.

SEVEN YEARS. Wow, that is a long time. Just like our studio owner, Megan has a very peaceful and relaxed nature about her. She exudes yoga. It's truly inspiring and I found myself thinking once again last night that I could continue to make my practice a bigger part of my life. It doesn't have to be a one-time 20 day challenge, it can be a way of life. And as I continue to learn in each class, it is not about the postures or the final destination it's about a state of mind.

My state of mind is good today. I am actually in the office (despite having the day off) and post blog will be finishing up work on some substantial projects...and then off to the hot room.

I was going to attempt a "double" class tonight, which essentially means 3 straight hours of yoga, but instead I have decided to rearrange my schedule so that I can attend Friday's 9:30am class instead. Coincidentally, this means I will now be ending my challenge with 12 straight days of yoga. Oh boy.

Happy President's day.

Namaste
