Today marked real progress in my yoga studies since I started more than 18months ago (we have been going 2 or 3 times a week very consistently). We managed to score an invite to an Advanced class [photos] – its not taught in any proper lessons anywhere in the world but Bikram is training up some teachers and I am guessing it will become proper lessons. So at the moment its all sort of word of mouth.

To be honest, it was really Dawn that got invited I was just there for the ride. There were only 4 of us, the studio owner Nathan, a teacher Elle, Dawn and me. It takes 2hrs for the 84 poses so it all went pretty quickly. I didn’t quite last the whole class, I felt a bit sick near the end – I think it was because some of the poses were quite hard and quite different from what I had before. I certainly didn’t even attempt the handstand set; never having done a handstand in my life!

Nathan plans to have regular Advanced sessions and I will definitely do it frequently as I think some of the poses will help me in the “beginner” series. Its also good to do something else for a change.
