Bikram Yoga 30 Day Challenge: Day 6

Day 6: Feeling GREAT!

Today's class was led by Carrie Gerstl.  I admit that I was a little concerned that her class may be too advanced for me after seeing her bad ass yoga pose from her profile pic.  She was a little too "chirpy" (for lack of a better description) for me and where I am at.  I am sure that I will love her more as I become more advanced.  I couldn't keep up with her enthusiasm, but will one day soon.  She was very good at leading the class and definitely a motivating force. I am just not up to her speed yet.  She was very helpful and guided me with adjustments when I needed them.

I have been feeling GREAT overall.  I want to note that prior to starting this challenged I was getting ZERO exercise.  I have been struggling with back & hip pain since pregnancy. I do have scoliosis, but I am not sure how much of the pain can be attributed to that.  I  am hoping to improve my skeletal system with Bikram Yoga.  Jumping back into a workout like Bikram yoga was a shock at first but I am glad that I am progressing.

It really is inspiring to see an instructor who "practices what she preaches". Tonight Eeva worked out right alongside us and taught the next class. I hope to have that kind of energy one day soon!
