Bikram Yoga

Having recently been encouraged by a friend to do something for me, I have been trying to put it into practice. Since I have been sick, I knew that I could not do too much exercise, but I thought of the perfect activity that would accomplish two things, time for me & to sweat the germs out! Bikram Yoga. For those of you who don't know what BY is, it is HOT yoga, and by hot, I don't mean hot girls/guys, I mean the room where the tempiture is about 105:)

It was the perfect day for the class! Raining and dreary outside, but inside we were toasty warm:)

One of my goals in life is to stop thinking so much, just be in the moment and to breathe. Yoga-hot or normal-is the perfect setting for me to practice this. Do I succeed every time? No, I do not. I find my mind drifting off and then I run to catch up with it. Breathe, Sarah breathe! However, today I found that my practice was indeed about being in the moment and learning to keep my mind focused on the pose despite the drops of sweat around me:)

Peace!
