How was your hot yoga class today?

Everyone has a day they love to remember in hot yoga...and a hot yoga class or two we'd like to forget.

Here is one of my favorite posts, from our own Jill Studnicki. Read, laugh, and come to hot yoga!

My attitude at hot yoga stunk today.  I was worried about job stuff, rushed to get to class because the line to buy Q-tips was too long, and it was an afternoon hot yoga class so my body was already tired. 

I struggled.  I sat out a couple of (okay, a few) poses.  My head wasn't in the game.  It was basically a 90-minute pity party.  Usually I'm pretty good about letting things go once I step into the room, but today I was a mess. 

Part of hot yoga is learning to surrender to the poses, and to trust your body.  Today I was all about fighting, and as a result my practice suffered.  This is something I need to work on (are you noticing a pattern?  Everyday I find room for improvement.)  But it's over now, and all I can do is learn from it and move forward, and look forward to a better yoga class tomorrow morning. 

Dinner with great friends brought me back to my center, as it always does.  They're amazing people with a lovely home, and I am instantly at peace when I walk in their door.  The perfect remedy to my pity party. 

Onward and upward, Jill.  No more pity parties.  No one ever serves the right cocktails at them.
