I came prepared for this Bikram class- I brought my sweat towel, a towel to lay on, and a big bottle of water, I was ready!...and then we did Ashtanga. Not a disappointment, just not what I had geared myself up for. Acutally it was probably just what I needed. I had gone to the Tuesday evening class and went for a run afterwards, resulting in lots of aching muscles that needed some yoga.
We began class with sun salutations, which I had done thousands of times before but kept messing up the order for some reason or another-very frustrating. Even more frustrating when the instructor called me out every time I messed up. And then the ego running amok...
Eventually I quieted my mind and started to actually focus on what I was doing. We closed class with about 5 minutes of meditation. I chose to focus my attention on a crack in the ceiling. After class I started to think about all that I've taken in from class and realized how much more sense it makes when applied to a practice!
