Still going strong

I am still going strong.  I started this journey 11 days ago, and have gone to eight classes in those 11 days.  Not bad I guess.  Actually, rather amazing!

My plan is to go every day this week, five for five and deal with the weekend when it gets here :).  My postures are really improving rapidly.  But the strange thing is how much I crave the heat of the room.  This is one thing I cannot figure out.  Anyone who knows me, knows how much I dislike the heat and humidity that comes with the summer months.  I am not a sun worshiper at all, avoid the beach, stay in doors when the temperatures get to high, but there is something about the heat of the Bikram room that comforts me.  As the sweat drips down my limbs, as I hold the postures, concentrating on my muscles, and listening to the teacher telling me how to move my body next.  Can't figure it out.  Is sweating a huge puddle in the middle of your yoga mat and being ok with that, different then being slightly overheated and uncomfortable when the temps hit 90 outside?  Definitely, I love the feeling of 90 minutes of 105 degrees and 40% humidity concentrating and moving my body into postures that strengthen and lengthen it, I can do with the uncomfortable 90 degree days....just saying!

Today I got my knee to lock in Standing Head to Knee pose, and I'm working on kicking out my leg.  Tomorrow's another day.  More healthy food, much hydration and more yoga.  It will be a good day!

Namaste..
