Day 28 = Rockin' The Awkward...Sort Of

Day 28 - April 28, 2010 - 6:00AM with Peter

It was great to have Peter back for the 6:00AM.  It has been a while since he taught the first class of the day.  It is a treat to have him as he makes it a point to correct you.  When you think you've been a superstar in some (if not all) of the postures, guess again.  Peter will notice something that's off in your alignment and will let you know.  So, I thought I was rockin' the Awkward Pose, in all three stages.  I nailed the first stage, then during the second while I had my heels up and knees up and legs steady, he corrected me as I was not leaning back far enough.  What?!?!?  So I made the adjustment, and the legs started shaking, and that was it.  I had to get out of the posture.  I was brought back to earth, humbled.  But thank you, Peter!  I can always count on you to keep me on my (Awkward) toes!

I just love the Awkward.  It keeps my legs strong and toned.  I have no problem balancing on my toes as my feet are quite wide :)  I know there's a positive side to having wide feet.  They may not look great in summer sandals and flip flops, but they sure keep me grounded during Awkward! :)

So, two days to go and the 30 Day Challenge is over.  I will continue with another 30, making it a 60 Day Challenge which Bikram recommends to every new student.  It would be interesting to find out what happens beyond the 30...stay tuned!
