Day 1 - 40-day Bikram Challenge

I suppose technically today was the first day of the challenge. Turns out my friend Amanda, a seasoned yogaer, is also trying it out as well. The class today was possibly the smallest I have ever been to, maybe only 25 or so people there. Personally, as someone easily distracted, I found this very beneficial. I was able to clearly see myself in the mirror, focus on my posture. I was no worried about bumping into, or falling over top of, someone beside me.

Anyways it was likely one of the top five classes I have had so far. My shoulder, though it hurts nearly every other minute of the day, manages through yoga pain-free. However, in Standing Separate Leg Stretching Pose or Dandayamana - Bibhaktapada - Paschimottanasana as my friends call it see here for example I felt a terrible pain in my groin. Will see how that is tomorrow.

But overall, a really good first day and in the spirit of the start of this, and with some confidence I'll make it through I end with Wolf Parade "I'll Believe Anything".
