Yogini Daze

Kickin' my way through another 30 day hot yoga challenge.  Today is class 15.  My practice is changing - yet again.  I have a much deeper half moon and floor bow.  And my awkward II seems to be looking pretty solid.  So that is kind of fun.  My waistline is shrinking very very slowly, but I do notice a difference.   I was born with a  bigger waist and ribs and small hips.   Totally apple baby.  It's cool though.  I rock the hell out of my apple shape because there is no other option, right?

I am coming up on completing 100 yoga classes in the six months since Yarrow Hot Yoga opened it's doors.  That works out to being in class at least every other day.  Not too bad, if I say so myself.  I have never fully committed to any form of fitness at this level and I must say, I do feel as if I grow stronger every day!  The meditative aspect if this yoga has me more in the flow of life then ever before.  The entire sequence is a meditation where (for me at least) breath and happiness are the focus.

Rock on blogga's.

Seahawks move on in the NFL Playoffs

I just love a great underdog story.  My new year's resolution is to watch the Seahawks make it to the Superbowl then get beat by the Patriots.  Just kidding.  I want them to go all the way baby.  They have been taking so much heat for 'sucking' and it makes me sad because I just adore them.   They are the little engine that could, in my mind.  Ok, so enough about that.

2010 was a banner year for me.  I achieved one of my precious goals which was to be a Bikram junkie.  I am having sooooo much fun with it.   The other day after class a new student came up to me and said I was fun to watch.  Really?  How cool.  I haven't lost my 'apple' shape yet because I don't really monitor what I eat very well, but I feel like I am making strides to be the best little Mona I can be.  And by little, I mean hot. 

I have lots of plans for 2011.  Maybe do the Hot Yoga teacher training?  I really want to do it, but I have a stupid fear of speaking in front of people.  I was speaking at a business meeting once and I had a panic attack that lasted my entire presentation.  I felt so bad for the others in the room that had to witness this train wreck.   So I guess that is plan #1.  Release my fear of pubic speaking so that maybe one day I can lead a kick ass yoga class.    

That's all for now. 

Peace out.
