Do the Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge

Last Tuesday was my first day, so today will be day 9. I’m actually hoping to do 30 classes in just under 30 days, doubling up a couple times, since it will be harder to do this once classes start.

I definitely notice a difference. I’ve gotten a lot better at the postures in these last few days than in my sporadic six months of practice prior. I have better balance (I can hold all of the balancing series the entire time sometimes) and deeper back bends.

After the 30 days, my plan is to keep going 3-4x/ week and run 3x/ week, maybe substituting spinning for running on occasion.

I’ve finished 2 days.

However, I’m doing a waterless fast tomorrow (April 3) and am really busy on Sunday (April 5). I’ll have to make those days up by doing two-a-days.

I work shift work and trying to coordimate their available times with my shifts and my training is a daunting task… yet I’m determined there must be a way! They are addding some additional times in January so I am hoping that will solve some of the scheduling problems. You can miss once per week adn make it up by doing a session twice on another day but who has time for a day with 3 hours of yoga????

I train with my trainer 3-4 times a week. I’ve committed to being at the gym 6 days a week in the new year with or without my trainer on the new program. Plus, I am going to add 90 mins/day of yoga in a sauna 7 days/week?? What the hell am I thining?
But mom and T are going to do it, too. They only take 30 participants so even if everyone completes the challenge (which they won’t) I still have a 1 in 30 chance of winning a one year unlimited membership which is worth over $1100. Sweet.
Also, my trainer says I am flexible like rock. Too much muscle building, not enough stretching. So, this will be very good for me…
I register Feb 1 and it starts Feb 14.

The Love Yourself enough to do Bikram’s Yoga every day for 30 day challenge starts Feb 14th, Valentines Day.
