day two: and this is why they call it HOT yoga

I have never sweat this much in my life. Okay, perhaps this is a bit of an overstatement considering I've taken a fair amount of Moksha classes in the last few years, however, it was hot today.

I was grateful today's class was just an hour long as I had to rush off to OISE for an orientation session afterwards.

At the beginning of the class, I tried to focus my energy on someone who brings a ridiculous amount of joy to my life and I could feel, not just my face smile, but my whole body. It was a great way to start my practice. Once the class got going, it was a bit trickier to focus on that positive focal point as I felt I was slowing overheating in the room, but I could still sense that my anchor was tied to something beautiful and inspiring.

The no-sugar thing is also getting challenging and it is only day 2! It is a great way to be mindful about reading ingredients and to think critically about what I am putting in my body. I am thankful for health food stores, evaporated cane juice and rice syrup.
