30 days in a Row!

So I have to brag a little here. For the past 30 days, Sadie and I have been quietly participating in a 30 Day Challenge at our favorite little Hot Yoga place here in HB. We have both been attending fairly regularly since this past January (maybe 2-3 times a week) but we decided to step it up starting April 20th and attend a class a day for 30 days straight. No days off, no make-ups.
Now if you've ever heard of Bikram Yoga, you would know that it is a very structured type of Yoga comprised of 26 poses done in exact order under instruction from a teacher in a room no less than 105 degrees Fahrenheit. Its also 90 minutes long. Now if that doesn't scare the pants off you, then listen to this...at our Hot Yoga studio, they have improvised the Bikram poses into a slightly altered order, yet still sticking with the same principles, but also play background music. Our room is heated to no less than 110 degrees with an average of about 112 and sometimes as hot as 116 depending on the size of the class and humidity. Nonetheless its is a "moving" experience and most certainly not for the faint of heart.
I am very proud of Sadie for all her 6am classes then straight to work, then to ballet class for 1-2 hrs in the evenings. She is very dedicated and strong. Even on the weekends we had to make it to a class each day when we really wanted to sleep in or just be lazy. We didn't take any trips during these last 30 days, and we were forced to do our laundry every single day (because of the sweaty towels and clothes). It was quite the commitment.
Not only do I feel physically stronger from all the classes, I feel mentally capable to take on just about anything. This challenge even helped me to be on time to appointments and work and events.
There have only been 140 days so far in 2009 and I can say I've spent at least 50 of them in Hot Yoga class.
Go team Eppes!
