So because I’m not training for the marathon anymore, I needed something to get my ass into gear – a new challenge.
I had wavered a bit, but I signed up for a 30-day Bikram yoga challenge at my new studio, which by the way is one of the best Bikram studios I’ve ever been to.
The few classes I’d taken in Austin since October (when I moved) were at Bikram Yoga Davenport. Also a great studio and well maintained. I went to Yogagroove (Austin’s only other Bikram studio) earlier this week because, knowing how much yoga I was going to be doing over the next six week, I wanted the intro special ($28 for unlimited yoga for your first month) that many studios offer.
This studio is unlike any I’ve been in. It offers a real community and every instructor is awesome. Usually, there are one to two instructors in any given studio that I’m not a fan of. Each one at Yogagroove brings a lot of enthusiasm and energy to their instruction.
Today they packed about 75 people into the noon class (they are having a special re-opening this weekend because they just opened their SECOND room!) so it was probably 10 degrees hotter than the normal 105 temp. No matter though.
So I’m officially signed up for the 30-day challenge! The only hurdle I’m concerned about is the five days I’ll be in Dallas for work the week of February 23. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make it to some 5:30 a.m. classes (if at all).
No matter though – I have 8 more classes to make it through before I have to worry about it.
Namaste!
