I finished my 10-day Bikram yoga challenge today. There was something so empowering about lying in Savasana for the last time and really breathing in my accomplishment. Wow, I did ten days straight of Bikram yoga. I amazed myself.
I have definitely noticed a change in my body. My joints and tendons feel like they move more fluidly and my muscles ache like they never have, but it's a pleasurable pain. I feel more in tune with my body and so much more peaceful. It's unlike anything I've ever felt before.
I love the motion of running and I love the burn of resistance training and even regular Hatha yoga helps with flexibility, but the endurance that it took to do this challenge was something I never thought possible. I feel great, mentally and physically, and I can't wait to see how more of these classes will change me. One day, I will be able to do all 26 poses beautifully and see for myself that practice really does make perfect.
