What’s this second set of Tree business?

I feel like a million Baht after the 10am class today with Rich Nichols (Regional Bikram Yoga Teaching Manager). It’s the 2nd class of Rich’s I’ve taken in my 3 days in Bangkok and I’ve already had a breakthrough.

Rich phoned me last night to go over a few issues he guessed were giving me grief, obviously picked up by the pained expressions dancing across my face and the fact I didn’t do Toe Pose, instead performing a second set of Tree. It may come as a surprise to some but EVERYONE here does Toe Pose! So you can imagine I felt like a bit of an ape hanging out in Tree while the local yogis sunk to the floor around me.

After listening to my knee issues etc, he offered some advice and asked me to attend the morning session. Well what do you know, I got down into Toe Pose! Only the right side mind you but I’m sure the left side will follow shortly. Thanks Rich, namaste.

Well I’m off to sample some of the local neighborhood (Ari) street food, mmm yet another way to warm up the body!

 

Bangkok – Sunday 1st Feb!

Things have been a little crazy of late with a serious incident concerning a member of my family. All I can say is CPR saves lives! Although nothing can really prepare you for performing CPR on a lifeless body until the paramedics arrive (it will haunt my yoga practice for months to come) a first aid course will get you started.

Thankfully the person is making an amazing recovery and after considerable family discussion I’ve decided not to postpone my journey and I will be flying into Bangkok on 1st February to start my 2nd 30-Day challenge.

Rich Nichols from Bikram Yoga Bangkok has kindly hooked me up with a room to rent and unlimited complimentary hours of torture in the hot room… er what have I got myself into?!

If you’re in Bangkok and want to join me in a class or two or the 30-Day challenge then I’d love to see you there!
