Yoga in February - Day Four

This morning I had an inspiring talk with a good friend about our month by month goals. Truly inspiring!

Then, took my second yoga class at Purple Yoga with Ace Paule. Wow - this was super challenging! Different poses at a different pace. I have never sweat so much before in my life! I ran a 10k last spring, and didn't sweat half as much as I did during this session. I loved it. I had to push myself to stay with the poses. Now I understand why yoga teachers and students have such incredibly beautiful bodies - they work for it with every pose!

I love the newness of this adventure - to learn to new poses, to explore weaknesses and inabilities, and to push past the challenges.

I can't wait for tomorrow's class.

"...yoga is not about self-improvement or making ourselves better. It is a process of deconstructing all the barriers we may have erected that prevent us from having an authentic connection with ourselves and with the world."
