Unexpected humor in class?
Sometimes when the instructor strays from the standard script ... they say something hilarious. Share what's made you laugh in class. Today as we were coming out of our first back bend ==> It's the one the instructor says "Your first back bend of the day, your back is going to hurt like hell, don't be scared" The…

The Daniel Plan website
I continue to be AMAZED by the wealth of information on the Daniel Plan website! There is so much inspiration to be found in each of the five pillars of the Daniel Plan (faith, food, fitness, focus, friends). Search the website for recipes ... I am stunned by how many recipes are on the website! Give it a try!

What keeps you coming back?
Given that practicing Bikram Yoga can be intense AND uncomfortable AND humbling AND difficult ... what keeps you coming back to the studio??? For me it's 1) being surprised every time I practice about what my body can and cannot do, which varies from day to day 2) the solitude and the time away from worldly distractions to…

Vertigo anyone?
I've been afflicted with vertigo for about the past 3 weeks. It flares up the WORST during a Bikram class & typically happens when coming out of an inversion. Has anyone had to deal with this? I talked to my DR about it this week and he suggested that I stop practicing for a few days ... which is torture for me. I've…

Private Lesson!
As a birthday present, my husband bought me a gift certificate for a private lesson. I took the lesson over the weekend and it was amazing! As an added bonus, I had the good fortune of being assigned Audrey as my teacher. She had just competed in the Regional Yoga championship and came in 3rd ... very exciting! The lesson…

A less than lukewarm endorsement from my DR
I had a regularly scheduled visit with my PCP yesterday. Purpose was to review my blood work that was done recently. I've been having bloodwork done every 6 months and this last testing was done after being Paleo for one week. There was an improvement in my overall cholesterol, LDL, and HDL levels. I told my DR (a woman,…

Bad yoga day?
Ever have a bad day in class? I definitely had one of those yesterday. I could not do the balancing poses, at all. Was getting super frustrated and was fighting the urge to leave the room and just wanted to go and hide out in the back of the room. Eventually I realized my problem was lack of focus and concentration. I had…

Anyone interested in hiking?
Hi there. I live in Mesa. It's a great time of year to be out hiking ... I haven't hiked much this year (too many lbs), but have lost some LBS and am ready to resume hiking Squaw Peak. Anyone interested? I'd like to do some hiking in the Superstitions, but don't know the trail system out East. Only hiked South Mountain…

HRT pellet therapy
Hi, I'm new to groups and just joined this group today. I'm post menopausal and have been on HRT for a few years. I have two friends who have told me about a new kind of HRT -- using pellets that are inserted under the skin. I live in AZ and the treatment regimen goes by the name of "SottoPelle". Anyone hear of this or…
