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.

Great class!

This morning I took a Bikram class with my twin sister.  It was incredible!  I felt so strong in certain positions.  Derek was taking the class and gave me some great tips for correcting my poses.  

I bought a pineapple coconut water from reception.  It was such a treat having it during my practice.  I joke that pineapple coconut water tastes like the cocktail "Sex on the beach"! 

Here I am before class 

And then after 90 mins (I've taken a few minutes to cool down so I am not a complete sweaty mess).

Drury Street is a kooky little studio with a great atmosphere - I love it!

How great is this view from the studio - it's the roof of George's Street Market.  To the bottom left of the photo you can also see the sign for Fade Street Social Restaurant.

And walking home we stopped off for good coffee in The Humble Bean on Camden Street.
