Thursday 6pm Hot with Christine

I am going to set an intention for tonight's class and write about it later.
Hmmm.. I am going to make this fun.. I am going to google search yoga intentions... hahaha.. WOW - I didn't know there were things more important than just holding the bow the whole time or not drinking any water during class.. or getting rid of the fuzz~!!

Here is my intention for today:

Yoga Lesson: Non-Violence
Ahimsa is the yogic practice of non-violence, which includes physical, mental, and emotional violence towards others and ourselves. Viewed in this broad context, ahimsa can be a challenging and overwhelming practice to take on, as we humans seem to have a knack for creating judgment, criticism, anger or irritation. Fortunately we can easily apply the concept of ahimsa on our yoga mats by practicing mindfulness and compassion towards ourselves

I guess - for me I can take this as... not judging the person in class who makes noise or leaves the room - just let it go. AND.. for me personally to be happy with my body. This will be a hard one for me to try.. what is the word again... AHIMSA.. GOT IT!

Wednesday 6pm Flow with Katherine

I thought I would try something new with this class - and that is to write about it before I went. I am having dinner with Cyrstal after so I won't have time to write it right after - then I will forget stuff. I have been forgetting a lot of stuff that I want to write when I get home anywyas - again - I will be first in line for sport brain downloaders and it will be how I write my first novel.

I also found a really cheesey picture!! HAHHAHAA! Check those teachers out!! HAHAHA!! Awesome!! It is like a bboy pose with yoga!!

Anywho - I hope we get to do tripod handstands tonight. I am not looking forward to ohming or chanting. I just am going to do my best... and I am going to put my mat on the opposite side that I usually stand on. Hmm.. what else... I am going to try not to think about being fat.. and I will say hi to someone new tonight! THERE!! SET IN STONE!

LATER

OK - really later - it is now Thursday at school in my spare. I am going to go and do some handstands to crow on the mat. But let me tell ya - my plan did not work yesterday and there are some things I want to say about what happened in class.

I walked in and my side was empty of mats and the other side was full - so I went to my normal spot. I thought about being fat the whole time which did help me to suck my stomach in but it sucks - why am I so fat? I didn't say hi to anyone new tonight - just the usual suspects.

At the begining of class we had a circle and shared things. Well, really only one girl and the teacher shared things. The one girl had just become a yoga a teacher - cool.. and Katherine invited us all to a lulu lemon party - cool. We did go around and say our names which woulda been a good time to have good hearing cause I would like to know some people's names - but still don't know names..

It was a great class. I can feel my hip flexors and core today. we did tripod handstands and crow and tried to do them to crow. We also did side crow.. which I can do a little better on the side I couldn't do at all last time. Sometimes I am just too sweaty and slippery!! I wear pants purposefully to this class to give me some grip!

Fun class.. It is my favourite minus the ohming.

Tuesday 4pm Hot with Katherine

I think I am going to sit in a new spot at yoga tomorrow. It is time to try out new spaces. I have found a new favourite spot at the front right - but tomorrow.. I will move somewhere new.

I cheated a little bit in class today - I need to get rid of the fuz - especially the fix my yoga pants over my fat belly fuz! No fidgeting!

Thursday 6pm Hot with Christine

I had another great class today. I worked hard and I felt good. I didn't get any corrections but I remembered one I got yesterday from Katherine - damn.. now I forgot.. I will remember when I do it in class again. The girl with the bendy back was beside me. She is so bendy!!! Tall Tattoo girl was there too.. and front desk girl.

Good night!

Wednesday, 4pm Hot with Katherine - Don't forget your shorts!!! Run run!!

Today is senior formal and there was not senior hip hop practice because the girls wanted to go home and get ready. They actually got up and came at 7am.. so that is cool. AND..I got to leave right after school and take the 4pm hot. I am still sweating... my face is red red red! I raced there - started getting changed - realized I didn't have my shorts - raced home and back and made it just in time. I was dripping sweat as soon as I laid down on my towel. I had a really good class. I was focused and I tried really hard. We had a strong front row - except for the dude beside me.. who has been the dude beside me the last three classes I have taken. I am not sure if he is gay but he has pink toe nails... and he coughs and wipes his nose on his towel and then wipes his face with it. EWW!! I was thinking about going to hip hop but I am hungry and pooped... I did enough for today! Tomorrow I am going to do hot and yin... today.. groceries and eat!!! LATER!

Wednesday 6pm Flow with Katherine

This one is tripod head stand - so fun!! Katherine went up and brought her knees to one elbow and then to the other and then lifted her head up!! So cool!!


This is side crow... we did this on both sides but with knees bent.. I really like this one but can't hold it! I am going to try this one at school. It is like a baby freeze but harder!

Tuesday 5:30 Street Jazz - Taylor (Jo sick)

This one was hard for me - so much gayness... it was fun.. but I need to work on my FACE - give me face??? Hahaha... It was .. I don't know.. some gay song.. lady gaga or .. tina tequila.. or I don't know. I felt like I was just not cool in this class.. like everyone was cooler than me! Like.. I wasn't cool enough to fit in. Is that what grown ups feel like around young too cool young adults??? Maybe I am growing up more. Now that is GAY!! hahahaha!! Ok.. fun class. He is a funny teacher - and that is all I have to say!
