Day 6: THANK YOU!

After missing Riverflow during the holidays it feels so great to be back in it.  The whole month of December I was feeling tired from working my two waitressing jobs; not to mention flabby, tired and a little cranky. I did get to spend a few great days with my family and relax but I can't forget to mention those occasions were packed with Christmas cookies and beer.  I got a bunch of generous gift certificates to Riverflow, I was so excited to go take classes but I just couldn't get my wheels spinning! And then, "BAM!" one of my favorite Fred's customers Zach (Riverflow instructor) came in and told me about his 30 day challenge, he invited me to do it and I knew that this would be a great opportunity to dive back into the wonderful world of hot yoga. That night I marched my butt right into the yoga studio and signed on for my 30 day challenge! 

So here I am, day 6. Honestly, I am so happy to be practicing this much yoga. I haven't had a moment that I haven't felt thankful for my gift certificates, my body and this awesome challenge.  I'm excited for the next three weeks.  I have a handful of things that I would love to be able to do during my practice by the end of my challenge, but I know that in time these wonderful abilities will come to me--they can't be forced or rushed...I need patience!  Physically, I feel strong and I can already see the results of 6 straight days of yoga (so can other people! awesome!). Mentally and emotionally, I feel weightless and my stress level has depleted drastically in just under a week.  Thank you hot yoga for lifting me up! My booty thanks you too!
