Biking to Bikram

Monday and Tuesday brought me to Bikram Yoga after a long cycle from Dun Laoghaire to Harold's Cross.  

Monday was nearly a disaster after my battery died on the way in to work! I knew I wouldn't be able to cycle all the way to Harold's Cross on the way home so luckily my husband was able to bring my charger over to work and I powered up the battery and headed to Bikram afterwards.

I had a great class on Monday and was looking forward to Tuesday's class.  However, the mind is a funny thing. This evening as I cycled past the turn off to my house my mind nearly persuaded me to just turn in and park up the bike and not go to yoga!  But I quickly put it out of my head and cycled on and had another great class.

But honestly my face gets sooo red in class, like the reddest out of all the people.  What is that?!  

I hope as I practise more and get fitter and stronger my face won't get so red.

Bikram book

Just started reading this book about Bikram Yoga.

From reading the first few pages it seems like it is going to be very good!!

And waiting at home for me is a Bikram CD so I can practice at home. A fun weekend is in store!

Best Bikram Studio ever!

I practised Bikram Yoga in the LPA Studio (at the top of the glass stairs) for the first time today.


Wow!  It was great!


The sun was shining even though it was not very warm outside.  The sun shining through the glass roof really heated up the room (Ciaran calls it the studio as it is where he plans to paint,  I like to call it the Solarium when I go up and lounge like a lizard in it!) and it was just perfect for Bikram yoga.


The glass floor was cool underneath but was surprisingly not slippery. The best part of practising in this room was getting to look up at the clouds in the sky during "Dead Body Pose".  Pure bliss!


I just went through the poses myself (took about an hour) but I plan on buying the CD of Bikram doing a class and then I will practise to this for the full 90 minutes.
