Day 6: Double Up, but short and sweet. Oh, and eagle. Eagle. Twist-my-limbs pose

I doubled up on yoga today. Hot 90 at Open Door this morning followed by a vinyasa flow class at this great studio called evolve with the sweet and super spiritual Carson. You should try it. Usually when I encounter a free spirit anywhere outside of isolated locales (eg: a true hippie's home, like the woods), I'm a little guarded towards his persona as "one with the planet." But Carson? She is straight up in it. She'll guide you through practice talking about holding on to the moon and shooting light out of your foot, and at first...you want to giggle. But that disappears in an instant, because she believes it. It's her style, her language. And it's sincere. By the end of the class, I was holding on firmly to mother moon in a warrior stance and my balance was great. So there, thank you. Thank you Carson for sincere words. Thank you moon for letting me fondle you. Thank you evolve for a badass class. Yup, lots of thank yous.

  1. Hi Christopher, found your blog from the Bikram101 blog; I'm doing the challenge too! Your class with Carson sounds fabulous! Doing two classes in one day is awesome--twice the awareness. Your eagle pose looks really strong! Look forward to reading about your 101-day challenge.
