About Me

My photo
I am very new to Bikram yoga and have really come to fall in love with the practice. I am excited to share my Bikram experiences as I challenge myself to new heights of self-awareness and strength...through sweating in the heat. I am an RN in Baltimore who also loves to enjoy food, travel, experience music and dance...after a weekend of that, Bikram is a necessity! For me, Bikram is a natural Red Bull and the key to the best night's sleep you've ever had (also the best Booty sculptor known to man). If you are an anomalous yogi like me or just want some honest feelings on starting the practice, read my blog! Enjoy!

Day One vs EZoo

Today's Bikram class was glorious!!!  I feel so refreshed, and so awake!  This past weekend I went to Electric Zoo, a huge three-day EDM festival that was AMAZING.  I didn't eat much, but I danced for at least 12 hours each day, with only the calories from sparse Blue Moon beers to feed me.  Between the sun, body paint, and uber-crowds of dancers, my body was immersed from head to toe in the experience.  I loved every second of the weekend, and I wasn't truly tired until the three-hour car ride back home to Baltimore from NYC.  In fact, I was so tired, that the entire Labor Day holiday I slept from 5am when I arrived back home to 9pm.  I had bathroom breaks in between and a few minutes to call my mom to tell her I was alive, but my body rested so hard that day.  Ugh, then the next day I went to work (reference my last post for details).

So today's class was so awesome because I used and stretched every muscle of my body that was abused this weekend.  For some reason, through the entire weekend, specifically remembering Pretty Lights, I found myself pausing in between drops to stretch my arms and torso in half-moon style.  No joke.  Between that and using my friend famous for his backrubs throughout the weekend, my body was totally telling me that I needed Bikram therapy.  I sweated, performed all the moves with no issues, I completed the class with relief.  Class was so therapeutic today that now I feel confident that I should go rage out again really soon:)
