Power Yoga Bake

Yesterday I went to a 3 hour Power Yoga Bake.  I'm probably weird and a little sadistic, but I was looking forward to it for weeks.  I'd been to a 2 hour class before, but never a 3 hour.  I wasn't sure what to expect - would it be full on power for three hours, or more of a workshop where you stop and learn?  I was stoked. It turned out to be 3 hours of power flow.

So, yesterday morning I naturally woke up with a head cold - sinus congestion, cough, sore throat.  I was NOT happy.  I'd been looking forward to this class (and shelled out money for it) for weeks, and the morning of I decide to wake up sick?  On Friday I had a baby sore throat, but it wasn't bad at all.  I took some Airborne and it went away.

What's a girl to do?  Guzzle 2 Airborne and pop some cold medicine, naturally.  I decided to go - I was either going to a) knock my cold out or b) make it much, much worse.  I've had about 9 mini-colds this year, and I'm sick of it (no pun intended).  Give me one whammy of a cold over nine mini ones, please.

I was feeling probably 65% when I got there - not overly horrible but not remotely good.  Of course, when we started, my adrenaline kicked in and I felt like a rock star.  I was able to make it through the whole class, and I think I did rather well!  She threw about every arm balance in there that I can do, and you know how much I looooovveeee arm balances.  I was one happy girl.  I also was able to do a balancing pose that I never thought in a million years I could do.  The only place I could find the pose was here on You Tube - it's at about the 2:35 mark.  A little bit before that is bound revolved half moon, which we did as well (for me, I should say attempted).

Yesterday, I felt exhausted and so wiped out.  I drank 64 oz of water yesterday afternoon.  Today, I feel tired and sick.  So it looks like Option B won.  But it was worth it!
