Moksha Yoga 30 day Challenge

Saturday, April 5th, 2008

Oh my god.  I’m writing this kind of late, but I went to class at 8am today.  For one thing, I thought people would sleep in and go to the 10am class, because that’s what I used to do when I first started and had all the time in the world.  Sleep in for pete’s sake!  I really couldn’t believe how packed it was in there, and I couldn’t believe I survived it.  Mainly because when I was doing the 30 day challenge last year, I decided that the over-crowded classes just weren’t for me and started sourcing out class times that were not as popular so the studio would be less crowded.

The class was great.  I remembered some stuff, and totally forgot others.  I was disappointed in my lack of flexability and my need to take rests and drop out of the class, but I let those feelings go with every breath.

I definitely enjoyed class and look forward to going more!

Moksha Yoga 30 day Challenge

I should be going to the Moksha economy class (60 minutes, and only $7.00) tonight but I don’t feel it. Work sucked and I’m all tense. And I realize that means I *SHOULD* go because of it, but I have decided to go to the 8am class tomorrow instead. I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out. I hoped to get to this one to get used to Moksha again, but there’s something to be said about jumping into a full 90 minute class at 8am!

Moksha Yoga 30 day Challenge

Today is the first day of the studio’s 30 day challenge.  I signed up about a week or so ago during my karma exchange (where I clean the studio at the end of the evening in exchange for classes) because the studio manager noticed I clean tons but never get to class.  I finally relented, at least thinking if I went I could use up the classes I have banked and see if I can get back into the swing of things.

Last time I did this, I think it messed me up as I really did attempt to go all 30 days, and wore myself out of yoga, although it DID make me feel and look a lot better, it also just totally got me sick of the idea and I didn’t go back for I think 2 weeks afterwards, and it was never the same since.

Talking with Vanessa, the studio manager, she’s suggested to people to make personal challenges, to go 4 days a week, or 3 days a week, more than they normally go.  So I looked at the schedule and decided I could most likely go 3 days a week.  Tuesday night’s Ashtanga, Friday night’s Moksha Economy 60 minute class, and a class on Saturday or Sunday either Moksha or possibly Yin.  She loved the idea.

I haven’t been to a Moksha class in at least 4 months.  Today being the first day, is Ashtanga.  That I can do.

It wasn't all a complete trick.

I start my 30 day challenge at yoga today for the month of April, and the idea of yoga-teacher training is not completely out of my grasp. And I'm just hoping to all hell that I'm *NOT* pregnant! But who knows when you do it 3 times a week?!

In 3 months…

…the piercings come out, the job is finished, and I'm going to take a 30 day Moksha yoga teaching program that will last me the rest of my life…. that or I'm pregnant.
