Breathe, and Breathe....and breathe...

Day 3

I wasn't sure what to expect today.  I went into the class dehydrated (I definitely didn't drink anywhere near 3.7 litres of water today) and a little sore from the last 2 classes.  Today was going to be a new instructor, Danny.  Danny is a co-owner of this particular studio. He came in...a little, energetic, skinny man.  Such a great instructor.  So supportive of myself and the other beginners in the class.  He talked so fast during the poses...I could hardly understand him.  But also told stories through the class, that definitely lightened the mood.
As for myself, about 1/2 way through I was feeling quite well.  I didn't feel nearly as hot as I did the past 2 classes.  I'm thinking, "wow..this is ok..I'll be fine"  There was a girl 2 mats away from me that looked like she was going to vomit about 20 minutes in.  At that point, I was feeling quite confident....However, about 3/4 of the class in...the boiling feeling came back.  The end of the class was quite hot, but I breathed my way through and survived.  I do feel like I'm getting used to the heat.  I try not to think about it too much.  As for the poses...the are getting a little bit better I think.  The locking the knee is difficult, especially my left leg.  My right leg is definitely stronger than my right.
I'm taking tomorrow off.  I have a chiropractor appointment after work, so I thought this would be a good day to take a day off.  My goal was to try to do 3 classes in a row in my first week.  I will go back on Friday.  I'm glad to see the instructor on Friday is Danny again!  :)
