So…I just completed my 50th Bikram (hot) yoga class tonight @ Hot Yoga Nashville. I can’t believe that it was just over 4 months ago that I walked into the Hot Yoga Nashville studio out of curiosity…& desperation. I had just about hit bottom & was suffering on all fronts: physically, emotionally, mentally, & spiritually. I was your typical American…running myself into the ground, giving in to constant distractions & was a classic corporate burnout…who had lost Self along the way.
So…glad to say that I’m making progress & moving forward. I still have lots to learn & explore, but @ least I’ve started the journey. And so far, I’m pleased with the results:
¤ I’m 20 lbs lighter…whew! LOL
¤ I’ve stopped taking/using all meds for allergies, asthma, sleep, digestion, eczema, etc.
¤ Eating habits are improving…slow change, but getting there. And my water intake as definitely improved.
¤ Sleep is regulating.
¤ Complexion & posture has improved.
¤ Less stressed, improved disposition & mood….learning to slow down a bit.
So, needless to say….I’m going to stick with it, I haven’t been this pleased with a fitness routine in years (& I’m a former athlete).
I’ll keep everyone updated, & feel free to ask me questions. I’ll do another post about another fun topic: acupuncture LOL
I send much love & gratitude to Cassie & the crew @ HYN
Until next time…y’all be easy…
