First day back in almost a week

Bikram kicked my ass tonight!  Ughhh!  At first I started strong, I felt really good and limber until Triangle pose, and then I started feeling dizzy and nauseous.  Once the compression poses came, I felt like I was going to upchuck the buffalo chicken dip I ate earlier today.  I knew that was a bad idea, but I need to go grocery shopping, like whoa.  I probably shouldn't have eaten all those Oreos with Cool Whip either.  Live and learn.  I feel like I should eat nothing but lettuce based meals for the rest of my life!  Tonight I probably sat down for at least one of the sets in almost every pose.  Weak!  I even stayed in savasana for some of the floor poses.  I felt so bad, but I stayed in the room, and rationed my water until the end of class.  I think I even stopped sweating at one point and I felt like as soon as I took my last gulp of water, the sweat just came pouring!  I'm attributing this to working three day shifts in a row and then having an early meeting today.  And eating some super cheesy and heavy foods earlier.  I hope I'm not such a yoga baby tomorrow:(

However, there was still a learning moment!  Since I sat out for some of the poses, I observed some of the [obviously] advanced students in the class.  People actually had their foreheads on the floor for the standing leg stretching pose!  I didn't think that was possible because I just feel like I'll fall forward and crack my head open.

I feel like yoga is so widely practiced, so there are many practitioners who have exemplary control of their minds and bodies.  How would one step up your practice to the Olympic level?
