7 Day Yoga Challenge II

Monday, January 21st, 2008

It’s been some time since I last did one of my “challenges”. For this week I’ve decided to do another 7 Day Bikram Yoga Challenge.

Here it is:

For the next 7 days, I will attend one Bikram yoga class a day.

See you on the other side, with updates (hopefully) in between.

–Update: 2/4/08–

My updates a bit belated but here goes:  I completed 5 of the “7 Days of Yoga”.  My schedule wasn’t going to allow me to complete the final Saturday & Sunday so I let it drop.  I enjoyed it just as much as I did last time and really want to find a way to work this into my life as a regular event.  I’d say that the biggest drawback to Bikram Yoga is the expense.  The cheapest option involves a 6 month commitment, and even then it’s a bit steep.  There’s also the time involved to consider (90 minute class, travel to and from, downtime afterwards).  Still, I can think of no other exercise that I’ve done that makes my body feel as alive and healthy.  You’re working every muscle group and it’s an incredible cardio workout. With just the week of yoga, I noticed a definite physical change.

I think what I’ll do is begin doing it a couple times a month as a part of a larger workout plan.
