Moksha Challenge: Day 7

Day 7, I'm a week in already! Time is going very fast in this challenge. I feel like it will be over before I know it. I am really enjoying practicing at the studio, it takes the planning out of yoga for me. When I was doing the 40 days challenge, I felt I had to have more motivation and time management to get my practice done at home. Now I just show up at the studio, and I am guided through a practice, and can then carry on with my day.

Moksha didn't post a quote today...not sure what to make of that. I also noticed that only in maybe 1-2 classes so far has the teacher read the daily quote in class. The way they described the challenge was that they would be relaying this quote in class as well as on Facebook and Twitter. It makes sense to do that because some people don't have Facebook or Twitter to check the quotes daily. When I signed onto Facebook this morning to check for Day 8's quote it was there, but still no Day 7. Not sure what happened there I will have to ask at the studio tonight. Makes it seem as though they aren't as committed to the challenge as we challengers are in a way.

Today was a busy day. We had puppy class in the morning, and Sunday there are only 3 classes I can go to so we rushed home and I just made it to the 12pm class. It was a good Moksha class, although I get bored of the sequence at times, and so I think in the next week I will try to go to more of the flow classes.

I also wanted to talk about how my meditation is carrying over from my 40 days challenge. Anytime I practice now, whether it be at the studio or at home, I always take time before or after to meditate. Usually this is between 5-10 minutes. I find that meditating before helps me focus in practice, and meditating after helps me relax for the time after my practice. It also helps me let go of the busy parts of my day, and lets me release anything that didn't serve me well that day.

The challenge is going great so far!
