Missed my Mark!


     February 28th...I didnt go to a class once in 7 days due to a foot injury, busy schedule and my Grandfather was hospitalized on Thursday and still is in the Hospital. Also, i assisted in a Thai Massage Class this weekend which made it impossible to practice. Enough excuses! I do not look at this month as a failure but rather a strength in my practice. Although i didnt attend 30 classes in 30 days, i made it too 19 in 27. This month enriched my practice, made me stronger and helped me to deal with some intense issues in my life. This month was a good foundation for the months to come!
     New Goal starting March 1st. 24 Bikram classes in 28 days which always me 1 day off per week if i need it. Sending positive energy to my foot so that it will cooperate with my practice. With all these issues going on in the last week, i have felt less energy and my diet has reverted back to carb heavy. This reassures me that i need to stay strong in my practice and i will feel healthier with a regular practice. Blast off tomorrow at 8 a.m.!

Day 19...Deep Detox!


     Missed a couple days of Blogging...Busy Busy Busy! Im still on track with my 30 day challenge. I need to make up 3 classes in 11 days! Im gonna make this happen! Todays class was the hottest yet! I loved it and i loathed it. I had a hard time finishing the class so i sat for the last 10 minutes of class.

Day 16...Experiment Day!

     Today was fun! I ate a little to close to class today and had to take it easy for the last 30 minutes so i didnt have to leave the class and vomit. When class ended, i did end up getting sick in the Bathroom. Lesson Learned. Oh well. Struggling with finding my stillness while i felt sick in class. I found myself getting angry and anxious. I tried to breath though it but it was helping. Thats when i knew i was gonna sick. I fought through it. Next time if it gets close to class time and i havent eaten, i will just drink more water rather than eat.
     I'm extremely Grateful for so many positive people in my life along this journey. Thank you all for your inspiring words. Love and Light!

Day 15...Looking forward to Change


     Change in life is inevitable. We must  make this transition as Positive as possible. The change in my Body, change in my Heart and Change in my mind. If we are not striving towards positive direction, how can we be happy? I am starting with myself. Breaking my bad habits and unhealthy behaviors. Like the lotus flower, out the darkness and into the light! Through great struggle and suffering, i have become a stronger person. The only way i can do this is to share my journey with others. Along the way, i am meeting people heading in the same direction. By sharing, i am attracting and manifesting the positive relationships in my life that support me on my path. As i share more, i can support others on their path. Share, Love and Support! Keep the Vibration High!
     8 a.m. Bikram Yoga Today. Felt a little weak this morning. My diet has been wavering a bit. Mostly, i will eat healthy through out the day. Its my night time cravings that get me in trouble. This is one of the habits i need to break and change! I am doing much better with my food cravings. I realize i am an emotional eater and i delve into these comfort foods when under stress or dealing with intense life situations. Gradually, i will combat the night cravings with a balanced meal plan through out the day. My emotions have been on a roller coaster ride since i started my Program. I believe this can only make me stronger over time. I working it out, breaking down the inner walls, getting closer to my divine self and my purpose on this planet. I must let my judgement of others go. And the reason why i judge others is because i judge myself! WoW, that only took me 35 years to figure out. No more judging myself and others. Looking forward for the changes to come every second of everyday!

Day 14!!! Can't miss anymore classes

     Didn't make class yesterday cause i was so Busy with Work. No More Excuses. Yoga is now the most important thing in my life for the next 2 weeks. My schedule will revolve around my yoga classes. I will make up the 3 missed classes and be successful. My practice felt weak today. Probably because i missed 3 classes this week. Back on Track! 7 a.m. Yoga Tomorrow.....No Excuses.

Day 13 of my 30 day yoga challenge!


      6:30 practice last night and 10:00 a.m. practice today! Coming back strong! After a 2 day break, these last 2 days of practice have been so encouraging. I can already feel a difference in my body in 11 classes. Im going much deeper in my stretches. My concentration level is much Higher. I'm finding my inner peace in the most trying of positions by always going back to the breathe. 1 small victory at a time. This practice is changing me in so many positive ways! Excited to wake up at 7 tomorrow and hit my 8 a.m. class tomorrow and see how i can go even deeper in my Yoga Practice, on the mat and off the mat. Again, thank you all for the encouragement, especially Melanie! Hows it Going Dana!?

Day 10!


     Yesterday and i today were so insanely busy for me that i was not able to do yoga. Its a good thing to be busy! So, i will make up the 2 missed days of yoga practice with 2 days of doubles over the remaining days of the challenge. Its all good! A certain soreness has set into my right shoulder that is bothering me non-stop. I dont know if its a tendinitis, a strained ligament or something else. I'm going to work through the pain. Going to get more massages and take hot baths as well. I have missed the feeling of struggling these last 2 days and i'm excited for class at 7 a.m. tomorrow. Thank you for keeping me on point Melanie! Om Shanti!
