I officially finished my 108th class on June 20 at 7:00ish PM. I exceeded my goal of 6 months. (OK, only by a week, but exceeding is exceeding). During this journey I’ve become stronger in body and mind, and physically I’m able to do things I never thought I’d be able to do at my age of an almost ripe old 50. I’ve done my first, but not last swing class, mastered tripod and even managed to get my feet up into headstand once, with many more to come (hopefully).
If anyone had asked me two years ago when I started on my yoga journey if I would do 108 classes in less than six months I would have had a good laugh and a big shake of the head NO, yet here I am with many more exciting classes and poses ahead of me to learn.
This journey never would have happened without the help of my wonderful torturers, er, teachers – Nicole, Channing, Sierra, Alma, Kelly, Denis and Deb and my wonderful new yoga family, Betty, John, Dene, Janna, Jenifer, Michaela, Kimi, Kristin, Heather, Doug and the rest (you know who you are). I would have never made it this far without my wonderful yoga family. They are an inspiration to me every day.
It’s been a great couple of years with my Pink Lotus family and I look forward to many more.
