Well even though I have my kids for the next week I am not going to let that stop me from making it to Spark Hot Yoga and take a class tonight. I took a Hatha class tonight which really works on my core and balance. I really need that as I still am figuring out how to balance with one leg. I love have Christiana mixes it up and adds new poses each class so it is not the exact same thing every time. Of course there is also some poses that are the same. This class the heat is cranked up to 105 degrees. People ask me how I could passably do yoga in that kind of heat when I am not even a fan of heat. Once I get in there I am concentrating on my poses, balance, and breathing. I truly do not even think about the heat till I walk back out into the lobby and think it is cold out here. ha ha ha. It's probably 70 degrees. LOL. My main focus tonight was to work on my core and balance and spent quite a bit of time standing on only my left foot, eyes closed and arm out in front of me. Of course I have a wall right behind me so I can lean back at any time. I spent the last twenty minutes of the class on the floor without my prosthetic leg on doing my own thing till the class came down to the mat for the last ten minutes or so and then I could do what they are doing. This class really works up a sweat for me and my shirt is very much evidence of this. I love it!!!  I am going to feel this one in the morning and I love it. Just means I did something tonight. Woo Hoo!!

I wanted to say Happy Birthday to Christiana today!! She truly is a great yoga instructor and has an amazing soul and such positive energy emitting from her.

I am going to attempt to add some pictures to my blog this weekend. I just need to do some more research. I want to document my adventure with pictures as well with words.

Stay positive and have an amazing day.
