6am 1 Hour Hot with DANNY!! Good work everybody!

I had a great class this morning. I haven't had Danny in a while. He is always so nice to me. He gives me good corrections and always tells me that I am doing good work. I love that positive reinforcement stuff!! I was trying to focus on my alignment today - maybe if I can fix it in yoga it won't be as hard to fix it in ballet? Maybe... worth a shot. He goes through the postures a little bit differently than Patricia. I like having the change. I never did finish writing out the class order. I wonder if she has copyrighted it? She should - and sell it like Bikram and make lots of money!! OK.. off to school - collaboration day - quick day!!! O ya.. and the hip stretch at the end.. I am off the box.. and the left side.. is getting so much better.. I wonder if that has anything to do with the hamstring again.. that could be the right is that much tighter... hmmmm...

6:40 Ballet with Eva - New ballet slippers, lulu crops and top!

I totally had this barbie!!! She is looking as fresh as I was today in ballet!!
I had all new ballet gear today! It felt good. I am never wearing body suits again! The lame thing is, I still get the same correction that I have been getting my whole life. Why can't I keep my lower back from swaying? I gotta focus on that and keep it straight. It is hard to constantly focus on it though. There are so many other things I have to think about at the same time.

This class was pretty easy to follow. I think Cierra would have done a lot better at this class. Weird - because this class is a ballet 2 and the one that Cierra and I took was a ballet 1/2. I guess Danielle just teaches so many classes she gets bored so she is getting creative? I don't know.

Anywho - bed time!!!

Patricia's 6am 1 hour Hot - She did make this class! I knew it!!

My focus is to get off the box in the hip stretch - my goal is to get my hips flexible. I am going to stretch my hips every class today - when the students are doing their warm-ups - except for block E - cause we have a salsa teacher coming in.. whoo hooo!! ole!! Anywho, my nose was less snotty today and breathing is always an awesome thing any old time of day - especially during a work out. The tall girl with the tattoos is up to 100 days!! That is pretty awesome. Her buddy.. Dan??? is at 94 days - she is kicking his ass!! hehehe!! She must have been doing lots of doubles.

Rode my bike to Spanish Banks!!! SO FUN!!! WEEEEEEEE!!!

I was reluctant to ride my bike because it is down in the bike locker. I went down and brought the wrong common key. Went and got the right key and got into the cage... didn't have the bike lock key. I went back up and then the tires were flat. I walked it down to the bike shop by Urban Fare and they filled me up :) NOW!!! I was ready to go!!! WEEEEE! I forgot how fun it is to ride a bike ... especially down hill!! hehehe!! It was so great!

Jordie? 12pm Flow - Whoa - what? Huh? Partners?

Marnie came to this class! YEAH! This was the weirdest class I have ever done at this studio. Not a good one to come to when I am trying to get her to switch over. I am glad she came though.

So, why was this class weird? Well, I had never had this teacher before and I am not used to his style. He talked about ... what was it.. shining? I think that is what he called it.. all the time. Basically use resistance he later explained because I was confused by his new terminology.

We did some cool handstands and he had some people demonstrate. That girl that is always there in the morning - with the tattoos - doing the 120 day challenge did some awesome handstands! I want to be like her!! No.. I want to be like me.. but I want to do good handstands! I think I might go back to his class again.. just for that!!

Marnie was having a bad day - so I am not sure if she had the best class or if I won her over to WHY. I will try to take another class with her sometime this week - since she has the week pass - maybe Thursday :)

6pm Yin with Patricia who thinks it's funny that my hips are so tight while the rest of me is so flexy... hahahaa - I don't see the funny!!

I should take this class more often. I need to work on getting my hip more flexible - ouch - that shoelace stretch killed! hahaha! I think I will make it a new rule - when sitting on the floor at school you must sit in the shoe lace posture! It will probably be easy for most of them anyways. The picture above is the shoelace - I can't bend forward or get my knees together! I am straight up and in pain!! I want to look like her one day!!

My sinuses would get all snot sounding whenever I held my head down during the stretches - but it was not blowable. As soon as I could bring my head up it would stop. That is not fair! It made me think of blowing my nose in science class in grade nine. Supposedly I grossed out Dylan. hahaha! The things you remember because of snot! ??

Lululemon is open till 9. I want to go and get a pair of crops and tank top for my new ballet outfit- and for my flow class tomorrow - Marnie is coming!! Maybe I can switch her over to this studio - and I can have a yoga buddy again!! whoo hoo!! Game on!!

C Wall - from Yaletown to Coal Harbour

Whoa!!! It is such a nice day! My first plan was to run to second beach and just chill in the sun for a bit and then run back - which was about 12km - but I just kept running slow and steady. I had a great run. At the end my right knee was ailing me a bit and if felt like if I stopped I might not be able to start again - so I just kept going. When I was going, I was just in my own little world - thinking and smiling into the sun. I didn't even feel like I was running because I was just in the zone. I love running. I love Vancouver. I love sun!!! You don't know what you can do until you try... capiche?
