Day 21

Three weeks of yoga everyday and still 9 days left. ;)

Today was good-took a class, taught a private practice class, and attended a workshop with Ted (and friends).

Suffice to say there was a lot of Moksha today and all of it was amazing.

Sitting in a room with people passionate about the thing that brings so much peace to me and I can see the small ripples beginning to move out brought me so close to tears more than once. Tears of joy fyi.

So excellent day and excellent way to enter into this last stretch of the Challenge.

Day 20

How are there only 10 days left in this challenge???? This month is flying by!

Today's class was great-not the one I had planned on taking but it worked out really well and I felt really strong at times (and recognized that was a good feeling but there will be days I won't feel strong!).

I need to do some prep for my class tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous! I haven't taught in a while but my practice has been fairly strong since so let's hope that I can draw and factor that into my teaching for my students.

Namaste world!

Day 19

I think I'm over the sleepy hump of the 30 Day Challenge. But it can always come back if I dont watch my hydration levels and food intake.

I had intended to take the yoga with weights class today and then see how I felt to take Moksha Music...but ya know, not being attentive means I missed the start of class. Oops!

But Moksha Music was such a fantastic class today!! It was full of wicked energy and played with the Moksha series.

Best.

Day 18

Oh wow day 18.

So Moksha class at noon and then getting ready for a day on the trails with awesome waterfall views!

I'm not sure if this day could have been any more yogic for me.

The lilacs in bloom, being surrounded by water and oh boy those trails were rough for me but taking deep breathes and feeling the air and energy flow in and out of me.

What. a.day.

Day 17

Day 17. I kept thinking today was St. Patrick's Day...I couldn't explain it if I tried.

But my yoga with weights class I took was awesome! I think I need to grab a lighter set of weights (or two and alternate depending on the use) but ultimately it was an amazing class and I'm super pumped our studio is offering these types of classes!

Overall, I think Day 17 has been a success and just part of the challenge of life. 

Day 16

What a good day for practice.

I pushed my limits today it was great.


Along with a straight Moksha practice led with great energy, I ran the stairs and did some warm up biking/rowing.

I finished the day just being amazed by my body. I don't think anyone truly gives their bodies enough credit. Even when we don't take care of them-they continue to do their best to take care of us and when we do take care of them. The sky is the limit!

I have a long way to go in regards to being comfortable in my own skin (for a variety of reasons) but today was a great step forward. And I want to encourage any one who reads this to actually ditch the scale.

One huge pondering I had was that I've stepped on a scale being pumped feeling great and then when I see that "number" it affects me more than I want or realize. So I'm ditching the scale at least til the challenge is over but ultimately I don't want to live my life based on what it tells me. I want to base it on how I feel, how my clothes fit and give my body the credit that it's earned.

Half Way Point! Day 15

Half Way Baby!

The tiredness is setting in, but I can muscle through, and probably up my Ultima consumption...and Banana's. Keep my electrolytes up.

I had a long day but made it to class and then...may have...fallen asleep. BUT I made it to my mat and sometimes that's what the body needs. I felt just as good coming out as I do after working my body for a full class. I think that's the best part.

It's neat looking out the windows, walking outside and noticing the beauty in small things. It happens when I practice regularly, my eye gets caught by things I'd normally overlook.

Bring on the second half of this challenge. :)
