We all know it! Working out is essential to living a healthy life. But it’s important to make sure you workout for your own livelihood as well. My energy level bounces around a lot. I’m sure going non-stop 14 hours a day, having a RAMPANT sweet tooth and not always getting as much sleep as I need are all factors! But I do know that as I’ve made the time this year to put priority on my bedtime and sleeping schedule I’ve also carved out the time to get into Hot Yoga…Or Bikram Yoga! It started last November when I was in this space of feeling Exhausted all the time, truly drained. And I honestly felt as though I couldn’t for the life of me take a deep breath! I felt like a half dead human walking around town killing myself just to keep Up with myself!
For some reason Hot Yoga popped into my head. I’ve never been a Yoga type person, but the thought of the stretching, the major warmth and the breathing seemed to be Exactly what I needed! And it proved to be true! So I found a few local Hot Yoga studios and purchased a Special One Week Student Special card and went 3 times that first week! I’ve been ADDICTED ever since! It’s challenging work, no butts around it. But as I sit here a full November later, it dawns on me that physically, emotionally and mentally I am in a truly much better place then I was last November. And I owe it to de-cluttering my life of the things that left me spinning my wheels, learned to say No to more people and requests and YES to what my goals, dreams, desires and plans are!
I’d love to share my thoughts on the Hot Yoga studios I tried out in the Seattle area…If you’re interested leave me a comment and I’ll share my experience! I Definitely have a Favorite Studio!! ; )
