Yoga Intensive

You’d think the 30 day Shadow Work Challenge would be enough for now. But no.

I decided to join Brice for The Yoga Intensive class she’s offering. There are a limited number of seats in the class and it’s filling up fast.

I don’t know what prompted me to sign up for the course. Of course, I’d like to be able to learn more about yoga. I’d also like to be able to work through the poses. I learned a bit about yoga during the 30 day shadow work challenge. It was enough to make me want to learn more.

Not only learn more, but really focus on the practice. Of all the exercises Brice introduced us to in the challenge, yoga seemed to resonate with me the most.

Unfortunately, there won’t be any sharing of videos, because these sessions are private. To protect the participants.

So here I go. I’m ready to take on the next challenge. I hope I’m ready for the pain.

It’s okay. I’m ready, willing and hopefully able.

I’m about to find out.

I’ll let you know how it goes.

I will keep you up to date on my progress though.

Shadow Work Challenge – Day Two

Day 2 started out with a little Ashtanga nurse. That would be Ashtanga yoga. Yes, yoga.

Okay, so this was challenging. If you’ve never done yoga, this could be the thing that makes you turn and run. Please don’t. You can’t quit. This is the conversation I had with myself this morning.

Then I tortured myself for five minutes with a cold shower. The cold shower is supposed to help with inflammation.

If you’d like a glimpse of the 20 minute yoga video, you can see it here.

In today’s video, Brice discusses yoga with Emmie. She shares with us the “real” yoga. And the struggles that come with the practice. This morning I worked through the above practice with Ashtanga Nurse. I must admit it was a challenge. Not having done ashtanga yoga before, I found myself stiff and clumsy. But I’m not quitting. I’ will finish this challenge.

We are bound to come up against a wall on occasion. There is so much to learn from this challenge. You can learn about day two here.

I hope you will consider joining us in this challenge. Cold shower and all. We can all learn something from this process. I look forward to the shadow work.

You should join us.
