another all-natural, 100% organic photograph—no crop, no photoshop, just in-the-frame surf goodness. so you know, i’m not sitting on the beach taking these pictures. in fact, there is no beach, it’s all cliffs and rocks. i’m standing on a cliff, looking over the water, trying not to get too close to the edge. it’s a little scary being up there, but that’s how i get these photographs. what an awesome wall of wave—look at the spray! you gotta see the larger version to really appreciate the drops frozen in time.

very crowded class today, the new year crush is in full swing. i kinda liked being a powerhouse in the back of the room. it was one of those days when people are dropping like flies, teachers are chugging on water bottles and it seems like it takes 900 minutes for the room to get ready for the next pose. then there’s me, first one in the pose, smile on my face. come on, everybody, group energy requires *energy*!

alright, here’s one that i’ve said before, but now is a good time to remind everyone again and call it…
beginner’s advice to bikram yoga pt. 11
emjoy final savasana as long as possible. you worked hard for 90 minutes, don’t run out of the room as soon as class is over. this is the most relaxed your body will ever be today, enjoy it. i know the tempation is to run out of the room for fresh air, but final savasana is when your body absorbs the benefits from what you’ve just done in the hot room. enjoy it and know that you’re also building discipline by not leaving as soon as you can! see you tomorrow ~m
