Nov 20, 9:15: Awesome class!

Today was an yoga amazing class. Wonderful. I've had lots of good, strong classes lately, but this was one of the awesome ones - where after it's over, you know you worked hard, you're proud of your hard work, you're dripping sweat, and just feel great. Nothing special or out of the ordinary happened, didn't reach any new milestones, just had an awesome class. I haven't had one like this in awhile.

One small thing that was different - I practiced on the other side of the room. For the first few months at this studio, I moved around a lot. When I was still working, I only had about 10 minutes between arriving at the studio and class starting, so I usually walked in and didn't have much choice as to where I put my mat. For the last month or so, I have been consistently practicing on the left side of the room, in abut 1 of 3 spots quite close to each other. I also end up with the same people practicing near me. Today I walked in, and the left side was full - I didn't stress about it, just took advantage of having first choice on the right side of the room. I had different people practicing around me than usual. Maybe it was their energy, maybe just a fresh perspective, maybe it had nothing to do with the side of the room at all - but I had a great class.

Tomorrow's my birthday, and I can think of nothing better than starting it with my regular Bikram yoga class!
