Mission Complete – 365 days, worldwide bending

January 3, 2010 at 1:12 pm in On The Street, Yoga Practice | Please subscribe!

I sit listening to Bob Dylan then Marley, sipping champagne and thinking of something profound to write. It’s the day after completing my Endless Bikram Yoga Bender. One class a day, everyday – 365 days straight!

Nothing comes to mind… today was, just like any other day. I thought I’d get a little anxious as the sun dipped below the concrete jungle, the second hand ticking its way toward, then past, the last class of the day. No freakin way hahaha! Today I’m resting these weary bones and the few layers of skin left covering them.

In some ways I can’t believe it’s over. Part of me wonders what the hell I was thinking, and the masochist in me: why I shouldn’t just keep on going! In the past year my body has been pulled, pushed, compressed and stretched.. my mind following close behind and at this point in time, I’m not quite sure what is left, who has emerged, and what the future holds.

I’m sure in the coming days, I’ll have a little more to say and I’ll share my thoughts and feelings with you. Right now, I’ve just been gripped with emotion, thinking about the support, friendship and love I’ve received along the way. It’s been a truly amazing journey, possibly the best year of my life.. and I wouldn’t trade a second of it for a million dollars.

Hmm, a cool mil’ would enable me to do it all over again!

Stay tuned..

Thanks to Riddhi Wallia, Proprietor of PR boutique, Mirabilis Inc (and fellow yogi) who plugged my worldwide challenge, the Mumbai Mirror picked up my EndlessBender story and ran it in their Sunday 29th March edition.

Nilanjana Nag, correspondent for the Mumbai Mirror, interviewed me for the article. Nicely done Nilanjana!. You can download the article “The Other City Of Joy” here. Mumbai Mirror 29 March 2009

Please note the corrections:
Aqueel Bali should read Akhil Bali.
“a man in his fifties” Rajesh Jain, is actually in his forties. You can read about Rajesh in my previous post.
