2nd class, and it turns out, same teacher as class 1...AND as it turns out..almost exactly the same. I think that is the nice thing about Bikrams. The same 26 postures, the same intense heat. Some may think it's boring, but I find it motivating. Motivating in that I can see and feel myself do things that I may not have been able to do the class before. For example, the pose "Salabhasana" or "Locust pose" requires you put your hands under your body with your palms down. Now yesterday, there was no way I was doing this. Now this could be because I had my hands twisted the wrong way...but nevertheless, I could not do it yesterday. And today...I could. :) Also, I could feel that I was able to hold the pose "Dandayamana Dhanurasana" or "Standing bow pulling pose" longer than I could yesterday. It also felt a TINY bit LESS hot today...(did that make sense?)...but you know what I mean. I mean, I still felt a bit dizzy toward the end, my feet totally hurt during the standing set (by the way, when does this end), and my body is still boiling from the inside...but I feel better afterwards....sweaty and a bit sore, but better. Day 3 tomorrow, then I will take Thursday off.
Til then...Namaste.
