double.

i felt the need yesterday to try to make it through two bikram classes in a day. the first class was at 9am and the second was at 4:30. in the first class, i had a difficult time with dizziness. im not sure if this is because i took half of a vitamin before i went or if it has more to do with when i ate, but it was challenging just to stay standing right around balancing stick. i made it thorough triangle, which thankfully, is not such a difficult pose for me anymore. after savasana, i felt much better and was able to get through the rest of class without a hitch. at the second class, i felt like a stretchy rubber band!! i nearly locked my knees in pada hastasana (hands to feet pose). and no, this photo is not me. i am not usually that close to my legs at all!
i also noticed in bow that my leg is MUCH higher than it used to be. i still fall out but i am deeper in the posture. today, when i woke up i felt soreness in my back due to repeating the class but i went ahead to the 9:30 and did well. i had a bit of trouble with bow because my back muscles were tired, but everything else went very well. so now i know, i can push myself through two classes in a day and not die :)

my birthday is this saturday, july 4th. i wonder how that will go aside from delicious cupcakes from muddy's bake shop. :)
