This morning’s Bikram class was the first after three days. Things are very different with my body. Certain parts feel foreign and out of place. The only thing I can liken it to is when your first pregnant and your body just doesn’t feel familiar anymore. Instead of grabbing my heels in forward bend, I . . . → Read More: Searching For Gentleness

I am at the Braintree T stop just outside of Boston waiting for my daughter's train. She just let me know she's going to be late, so I sit here thinking about how much better I feel today after a rough week. Everyday this week has been hard. Extreme muscle fatigue and mental lethargy . . . → Read More: No Impetus Yesterday I took a day off. My daughters would laugh and say, "A day off from what? You don't work." Since they are still in the time of their lives when a typical job takes up five days a week, a day off to them just means you don't go to your place of work. . . . → Read More: A Day Off Yes, "that space". You know it. It pops up everywhere. It's "that space" between being almost done and actually being done – that place where you want quit because you just know you can't do it. "That space" pops up in 90 minutes of yoga everyday. I hit rabbit and I'm positively sure I can't . . . → Read More: “That Space…” I have, over two years time doing Bikram yoga 3-4 times a week, become very comfortable with camel pose. Today was no exception. I went into the pose, without fear, because I have come to trust my teachers to not leave me there for more than 20 seconds. I came out of the pose and . . . → Read More: You Did It Right! This morning before I left for Bikram yoga I got an email from Koko Fit Club informing me that I was now moving to the next level and was eligible for an orange lanyard. You get points for every workout and for every 50,000 points you earn a new color lanyard for your flash drive. . . . → Read More: No Limits! Today was just plain fun. I went to fit club in the morning, and Bikram yoga at night. I can't tell you how good that felt after two days traversing the highways from Cape Cod, to Boston and back again. After a lot of time in the car plus a lot of sitting, eating and . . . → Read More: Fun! This morning I found the best solution for describing and dealing with the chatter we let go on in our minds, that eventually takes over how we act, which in turn determines how we feel. In Bikram yoga we often talk about shutting down the chatter in our mind that tries to incite panic and . . . → Read More: Quiet The Chatter Tuesday I had a really bad Bikram class. My arms were just not performing and I was weak and fatigued. I knew it was going to be a tough because I did fit club on Monday morning, Bikram Monday night, and was back in the studio in less than 15 hours. I tried to be . . . → Read More: Blame: Put It On The Mat A friend posted the following on Facebook yesterday afternoon…… It really made me stop and think and it drove a few points home that have crossed my mind over the past few days. There's a lot being discussed and written about gun control as a result of the Connecticut tragedy. It's the same . . . → Read More: Profound…. |
