Challenge: Day 2

Wooooeeee... that room was hot! And packed. 4 rows and mat ends to mat ends. Owl lead and as always she's sooo sweet. Her name is "Owl" for the love of God how mean could she be? She's tiny like a bird too...

My face was already red during the 1st breathing exercise, by Triangle I was on a constant sweat drip off of my finger tips, and I could hear it. I looked around and thankfully it was the same for everyone- except the 1st timers. I can remember the pain. Kneeling there thinking will it ever get better? How do these people do this? Everyone here is clearly nuts. But with time, only about a week you start to crave the room and the torture. And then one day you bend over to pick something off the floor and realize you are fully extended and can actually put your wrists to the back of your heels without effort! And as much as we don't normally have to bend over that far, its still fun to do. Just a week newbies, just an honest week...

Michelle "Hey Yoga, did you see me rock out that Camel?"

Yoga "Sure did. You rode that camel like you were in the Sahara and an Oasis was on the horizon."

Michelle "Aware"

Owl a sweetheart? I loved her classes, and miss them now, but she's a butt kicker, and sometimes gets growly! And she cranks the heat like no one else! Her classes are great and I love them, but I wouldn't call her sweet (during class, anyway). Sounds like an awesome class, though!

Oh Owl does growl! But not this class. She was really sweet. And yeah... it was brutal hot.
