18 and 19 down: turn that frown into a smile

I doubled up yesterday. I don't know what it is but I get really anxious when I know I'm about to embark on a double bikram yoga session. 180mins = 3hours of my time totally focused on me and me alone...i mean in this day and age who does that? certainly not me. 

The first session the lovely Lorraine was telling us to do at least one posture that we are afraid of pushing through and always end up staying in that 'safe' place. I felt myself pushing through a tad bit more...I really don't want to get to that comfortable place in yoga where everything gets stagnant as that is where my life is at the moment everything is stagnant and nothing is changing so I'm taking steps to do one different thing a day. Even if that one different thing is locking the knee and locking it for the whole posture.

Second session Fed bigged me up for doing my double. But then he said "now all you have to work on is letting go of the frown". Yes the frown...the frown... the angry look on my face that I take with me where ever I go. I walk around looking like an angry black woman...I do yoga looking like an angry black woman....I need to work on this cos often times when walking down the street I've been told to smile...I don't mean to have an angry look on my face cos I'm not an angry person. So for my 20th class the one different thing I'll try to work on is turning my frown upside down into a smile!
