Back at Bikram in '23!

If you read back my blog you'll see lots of posts like this about my return to Bikram Yoga as I've been practising on and off for probably close on 15 years now.  

After a break for awhile there is nothing like getting back to it.

This may have been my longest break with my last class being in November 2019 which of course was leading up to the Covid lockdown in March 2020.  If I had known what was going to happen in March 2020, I would have made damn sure I practised more in the months of November to March.

And then the months turned to years and suddenly it was over 3 years since I practised in a studio (I did a bit at home on my own from time to time).

But......I'm now back at it!

I went to a Sunday 4pm class yesterday and have now signed up for a month. I intend to go 3 or 4 times per week if I can make it.

It was a fantastic class and it felt so good to be back!!  

There is nothing like Bikram.....I'm already dreaming of my next class.

I had to rent a mat at the studio as I couldn't fine my old one.  At lunch today I then went to Elverys and got myself a nice mat. So I am all set for tomorrow's class.

The class is at 6.30pm and with I'm working from home so it is perfect time (if I was working in the office it would be a big rush to get there on time).

I can't wait!

I signed up for a month in the Harolds Cross Bikram Yoga studio. It's about a 10 minute cycle from my house to the studio which is just perfect. There is bike lanes most of the way (thankfully as it fairly hostile cycling with the rushiong-home-from-work motorists) and best of all is that it is downhill on the way home with only a gentle incline on the way there.

Along with doing yoga I am trying to get back in to intermittent fasting. I was wondering how this would go but in fairness I've always liked to do bikram on an empty stomach with 10am morning classes being my favourite. 

Come back to me in a month to hear how it all went.....
