It's been a real challenge to bolt out of work in time to get to yoga and my social life has been almost non-existent. It's simply not sustainable.<br /><br />I am following the rules, Paul, so you should be proud! :) I've never been able to commit to any sort of challenge before, so this is my time to do it.<br /><br />And I do think it's preparing me for TT because it's teaching me commitment and discipline -- both of which TT demands.<br /><br />I'll be in your 7 pm class tonight. I'm looking forward to studying your dialogue, but don't pick on me too much!<br /><br />Missus: 101 classes in 101 days is an amazing feat and one I couldn't commit to myself. You've been an incredible inspiration to me and to countless others in the Bikram Yoga community worldwide!Chrissy D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02225821145379817136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379483374068341512.post-65294499678700392492010-03-25T12:13:17.671-04:002010-03-25T12:13:17.671-04:00Why stop at 60, Christine?

If you don't want to take your medicine the right way, you will not get the same results; part of the challenge is 30, 60, 90, 101 consecutive days -- regardless of what is going on in your life, no excuses. <br /><br />It's about priorities and in this challenge the priority is the yoga, not X, Y or Z. <br /><br />Doing this challenge in no way prepares you for training. Nothing will.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07842954590113268593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379483374068341512.post-35156476314253034812010-03-25T12:01:21.398-04:002010-03-25T12:01:21.398-04:00I agree with Yolk E... Doing the 101 Challenge, I...I agree with Yolk E... Doing the 101 Challenge, I am currently three classes behind. But I will more than be able to get on track to meet my April 11th deadline of 101 classes in 101 days. <br /><br />If someone can get into a daily practice, it's great! But in modern world, there are going to be commitments outside of the yoga that require our time. I think you're doing an AMAZING job! You are so committed... <br /><br />And, with all your back-to-back classes, you will MORE than be able to handle the schedule at training.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12114958441995834155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379483374068341512.post-48921192536743874502010-03-25T11:16:01.909-04:002010-03-25T11:16:01.909-04:00Oops.

All of my points were made there, much more eloquently than I just made them ;-) No original thoughts here!Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888081929539943621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5379483374068341512.post-47345390651491227352010-03-25T11:11:59.990-04:002010-03-25T11:11:59.990-04:00I'm glad the challenge is working for you, C. ...I'm glad the challenge is working for you, C. But I wouldn't sweat (ha, ha) missing the occasional class and putting others in the bank. I don't understand the rigidity in the "must practice every day" mandate. What if you get sick? What if someone gets married and you need to spend the day out of town? Are you really supposed to put your whole life on hold (or health, as in the case of being sick) to do yoga? Isn't it supposed to support your life? Doubling up a couple of times seems like a legit way to compensate for that. I remember reading a similar idea in Bikram's gold book: he even says you DON'T have to practice every day for the rest of your life--that's not the goal, self-improvement is. <br /><br />I guess I do see their point in general--consistency is important. Looks like I just got on a soap box!<br /><br />I also admit I have never done a challenge, so I hope you took that with one giant grain of salt :-)Elisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888081929539943621noreply@blogger.com
