My sister has challenged us to do a Bikram yoga class every day for sixty days starting January 1st! I am going to accept that challenge. This will be a wonderful way to start the New Year and dig deep into the emotional and physical body and see what comes up.
I am nervous. I am excited. I am feeling apprehensive about work and trying to work around my schedule. Will I have to do a.m. classes? I prefer the evening after a day of work and life. Perhaps it will be a combination of both. The rules are if you miss a class, you must do a "double" class to make up for it. This means perhaps two classes in one day.
My studio is well suited for this. They frequently have students set out to do this and they will give you a t-shirt when you finnish that says, "I survived the 60 day challenge and all I got is this t-shirt". Corny, I know. But, I would really like to have one of them.
I also have some really profound insights after my yoga classes. It will be interesting to see how well my "personality" holds up. I am in profound gratitude for this type of yoga. It has been a place to bring all of my "issues" and softly (and not so softly) lay them on the mat when the class is done.
I also realize that a lot of suffering people do not have access nor the interest in this type of therapy. If only they would go to a yoga class to work this out is what I often tell myself after trying to get them into one.
It may not be their "lucky" lifetime.
