Concrete!

On day 22 today - haven't gone to class yet.  Feeling pretty good, a little sore, but classes have been fun.  Exhausting, but fun.  Back bends are coming along, too.  I did 10 more back bends last night, which put me up to 60.  I'm certainly feeling it in my upper back.  Wow! 

I also had the opportunity to read an interesting article from Details Magazine.  Interesting is the only word I can use to describe it.  Check it out for yourself.

I don't agree with the article or the title:  The Overheated, Oversexed Cult of Bikram Choudhury.  I have to just laugh because when I was in teacher training, I either didn't catch on to the shenanagans or was too tired to notice any outrageous behavior.  But.... people have to sell magazines and Bikram is a character. I guess he's an easy target.  The article didn't really say anything about the benefits of Bikram Yoga either.  I guess I'm a little protective of Bikram yoga.  I teach it, I live it, I see people's lives changed.  

In the beginning of my teacher training, the very first lecture given by Bikram, he told us to "ignore the bad, and embrace the good".  I knew he was going to say a few things that I didn't agree with and were, at some times, shocking.   I would just laugh at his comments, and, well.... focus on the good. 

Now... The good news....
Concrete is being poured, retaining wall is being built, and this is SO exciting!!!!!
