it’s me! checking out my face damage after a 90-minute hot yoga class. i bought myself some non-water proof mascara this time around. i’m not a crier, so i didn’t think it’d be an issue. however, i am a sweater. didn’t think that one through. looking in my car mirror to see if the raccoon eyes had appeared. i was in luck! if they did, then i smeared them all over my face and evened it out during the bikram style class.

shhhh – aroma therapy yoga. three hours of yin yoga taught by two of my favorite inner fire instructors. yin yoga paired with essential oils. oh so relaxing i just wanted to fall asleep (and maybe i did). the class was deep stretches, which we have already established i am very good at, and ended in a meditation. my eyes were closed for much of the three relaxing blissful & peaceful hours.

filling up my water bottle at the yoga studio after a bikram class and a shower. i have never – never ever ever – been that hot in a yoga class before. i was sweating all through my shower. and all through getting ready after my shower. and all through the air conditioned car ride home. i was definitely the sweaty kid when i made it to magnus at 8 for some drinks. the water did not help; the beer did. and maybe the bike ride downtown after yoga class didn’t help out either.

another evening at yoga. power flow class. i hadn’t been in over a week. and i was awful. definitely the falling-all-over girl in yoga class. ugh. by the time we made it to the pigeon pose – one of the last – i was ready to go go go. luckily most (all?) of the classes end with a stretching series, as opposed to strength or balance which are earlier. and i’ve always excelled at flexibility.

in yoga class. it was a flow class, so i didn’t want to take a picture because that ruins that flow, so to speak. but i can guarantee you this is exactly what i looked like.

rolling up my mat after an hour of power yoga. my first class after being annoyingly sick. the teacher was someone i had not yet taken a class with and hot damn! she kept us moving! the best part, i believe, was how she ended the class: with four group ‘oms’. i cannot - no one can - describe how it feels to take part in a group om. but if you ever have the opportunity, please take it.

packing my bag for yoga class. i was feeling a bit sick since the previous afternoon, so i took it easy and headed to a lighter class. perhaps not the best idea to go at all. i ended up using my sweat towel to wipe my nose every few minutes. which is counter-productive to a class where the entire purpose is to hold the stretch for a few minutes at a time. meh.

driving home from yoga. a 5:45-7:15 bikram class. and it was the hardest yoga class i had been to. the room was filled to capacity, which made the regular 105 degrees at 40-50% humidity even warmer. i left yoga happily anticipating a night at home with my book. until i saw a text message from nick - 'margaritas'. uhm yes, yes please. we headed to pasquals, where ryan and katy walter met us for drinks and chips, cinco style (whatever that means?) on the patio.

heading to yoga after some 'sex & the city' and sushi with erin and stacy. after spending the afternoon on my bike on the east side, i returned to find nick and the gals taking in some of the pink velvet bible. i joined, intending to watch for just a bit, but was roped in when stacy announced she knew of a sushi place that delivered. sushi delivery?! it's been my dream to have sushi delivered to my door! after having my dream finally realized, i just barely made it in time for the 7:45 yin yoga class.

thursday 04.30.09

pulling on my helmet and hopping on my bike to head home after yoga class. i believe that is the most madison sentence i have ever written. unless it was followed by - because my prius was in the shop after a fender bender at the willy street co-op because i spilt my fair trade soy latte on my north face jacket as i was checking my blackberry. uhm. regardless... i was a little tense after a jolt start to my day, and found myself ready to ram my car (no, not a prius) into the car that was taking forever in front of me at the atm after work. realizing i was being a heinous person, i postponed evening plans (because nobody would want to be around me) and combined my yoga and cardio into an almost perfect evening.

wednesday 04.22.09

cuddled up on the big green chair in my living room after an evening of yoga. i got back from class to see my first 'yoga' magazine came in the mail. popped a bag of popcorn, changed into the pjs, and settled in for a cover-to-cover read.

'you're still limited by laws and language and its' flaws...'

ryan joined my mom dad and sister in madison. all the way from duluth! the four of us (minus meg who was having a 'high school musical' marathon with jen) enjoyed a drink at le tigre - my dad's favorite place in madison. mom and i met dad and ryan at the classy joint after yoga class. we headed right over to the east side after a drink to meet up with meg for dinner.

monday 02.23.09

heading into yoga class. i signed up for two weeks unlimited, and i am hooked. coffee shop work got done early today (little bit 'o technical difficulty) so i was able to make it to a class at inner fire. and what a great use of found time.
