Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge: Day 15

Day 15: 15 Days Remaining | H2O-Uh-OH!

My sister & I went to the yoga studio together. Our class tonight was led by Amy. She was the first instructor that we have ever practiced with and will miss her dearly.  She will be moving to the Boston area to pursue her nursing dreams as a student at The Johns Hopkins University School Of Nursing. So proud of her!

My practice didn't go as well as I had wanted. I consumed so much water that I could not make it through the entire 90 minutes without sneaking out of the room for a bathroom break! Too much water was also a problem during the Bow Pose (Dhanurasana). While on my belly, I felt as if water would spew forth like a water fountain decoration. Not a good feeling. Sips of water, not gulps of water next time!



Here is a picture of the pose I was going for, please do not attempt this with an over-filled belly of water.

I have never left the room during a session until tonight.  I got dizzy from getting up and walking to the rest room.  The drastic temperature change was a bit of a shock to my body.  When returning to the hot room, I had to lay in Savasana for a few poses just to find my bearings.

I have 13 classes under my belt. I need to put in 2 make-up classes to be successful in the 30 day challenge! Tomorrow is Day 16 and my last class with Amy.
