Today was just what I needed…..I had a good sleep and awoke READY! I head out to take, a yoga class with a teacher new to me........ I arrived at the club and head into the studio, it was so inviting, dim lights soothing music , it felt like you were stepping out of the club, into a room of peaceful energy…..like your not in a very hopping area of Chi-city….It felt good!! The class was me and one other woman……I like that!! The teacher (Jim) was wonderful!! I really enjoyed his style, it was almost like a Mysore class, yea, it was nice……We moved hip opening asanas, also a nice selection of twist.....and balancing asanas.....such a nice way to start the day. Jim and I chatted for a few after class, he mentioned that he has taken a class with me at one of the sister clubs. I left the class feeling great before my spin class…..I really love spinning, I mean really, really, love spinning……makes me wonder why I ever stopped before……when I moved here that’s what I did, spin all the time. it’s a great cardio workout and you can go all out or fall back and chill a little…..it all your ride.
I’ll say it again…..a good teacher of ANYTHING is one who is creative and true to themselves, sharing their creativity……I, can vibe with that and that’s how I learn.......Fran, the spin teacher today was on FIRE!! First the studio….it was ecked out with strobe lights, flashing red & purple Iridescent lights, it was crazy….they pulled this thick black curtain over the front window, cranked the music and got the lights going….it was ON!! Jumps, runs a very, very, high endurance ride, but smooth well put together......Love it!

I was drenched after leaving that class, it felt good, I change up after class head out to get some food and head to my swim class. We begin with John’s yoga practice, then we head down to the pool……I’m enjoying the swimming lessons, John is a good teacher. I feel great in the water, and John’s teaching style completely works well for me. We begin with breathing and blowing bubbles under water, then moved through the kick off’s and then some one arm swims, floating on my back and for the very FIRST time, I was in the 5ft section of the POOL!! It was such a awesome feeling the water so high up on my neck for the first time in my life where I’m NOT panicking, not even a ting of fear was to be found…..It was more like curiosity and the dare to challenge myself to go that far in….I really felt a cleansing in that pool….I know it’s a health club pool, without all the bells and whistles, but I really felt cleansed, free of fear and proud of myself…….I’ve taken to the water from the heart and it feels much better than fear…..I’m SWIMMING!!
I hit the steam room for like five minutes….I was DONE! I’m loving these training for many reasons, and one it forces you to get proper sleep and food, because there is no way to function without both……You can try but it will for sure getcha!! I sooo needed the balance of today, that yoga class was the perfect start….I’m going to put these two classes on my regular Tues training schedule, and anytime Tuesday works for both John and I, we’ll meet for yoga and swim…..I feel such a great peace within today, returned some calls, clarity and peace, is what I feel……I love this feeling, every now and again ya gotta re-evaluate and just be……I’m off to teach a class and have a full day tomorrow……I’ll sleep well tonight….
