day three: oh what a day

My practice today existed with Laura at Uptown in between classes. It was one of those days where you don't really know how or when the practice can get squeezed in, but because you do (somehow), your day just feels a little bit more magical.

About my day: I taught the 6:30am and 9:30am classes at Uptown. This meant waking up at 5am, which is auspicious, I realize, but early nonetheless. Between these two classes Laura and I did our own separate flows in the hot room to some wicked loud music. The two practices were still quite independent from each other, but I felt very inspired by what she was doing and it definitely positively affected my practice.

After the 9:30am I had to boogie to make it to the Downtown studio to teach the 12 noon class - after a crazy bike ride through the streets of Toronto, I made it to the studio with 10 minutes to spare (yes, I am a speed demon on wheels). I taught the noon class, had 2 hours off (when I went for a swim at the JCC, am I crazy? Probably! and then grabbed some food, hung out with Les and then went back Downtown for the 4:15 class. 

It was one of those days that leave you feeling tired and accomplished. Happy and pooped. Exhausted and yet energized.

I realize that teaching is a separate practice from my own personal practice, however, those 4 classes I taught definitely added something to my 30 day challenge for sure.
