New Beginnings

As many of you may not know, I'm embarking on a new journey this week.  While I am lucky enough to continue to live my life in a sports bra, I will doing so in a very different way.  Almost a year ago my friend Danett invited me to join her for hot yoga.  I had never really done any type of yoga at that time let alone HOT!  I was very nervous, but excited to try something new.  We went to Huntington Beach Hot Yoga (HBHY).  HBHY teaches the Dayton Method which is similar to Bikram.  It is a 90 minute class of 28 postures and 2 breathing exercises in a 105 degree room with 45% humidity.  I enjoyed my first taste of hot yoga.  It was uncomfortable and extremely sweaty and I wan't very good at it, but I liked it.  The second time I went I hated it, but for some reason I went back.  Then I went back again and again.  Soon I was inviting others (mostly my friends from CrossFit) to join me.  In April I signed up for a 30 day challenge.  I did at least one 90 minute hot yoga class at HBHY for 30 consecutive days.  I felt amazing.  I felt accomplished.  Sure I was sore and my hips hurt, but nothing compared to soreness I often experience with CrossFit.  Tomorrow I begin a 200 hour Hot Yoga Teacher Training.  6 Days a week, 8 hours a day for 4 weeks.  I'm very excited.  I'm also nervous.  Goodbye job.  Goodbye CrossFit Costa Mesa.  Goodbye social life.  See you in August!
