Well, this week has already shaped up much better than last week. I went Sunday and Monday as normal. I decided to try out doing a double on Tuesday. What I mean is, I went at 6 am and 6 pm on Tuesday. On Wednesday I was back in there at 5:30 am. Basically, Monday through Wednesday I went every 12 hours. So here I sit on Thursday and I'm taking the day off! I already have 5 classes in this week, so it's ok. This of course doesn't mean that I won't do anything... I think a nice long walk is in order. After all, it is in the mid-seventies today. It is sunny and it is good for the dogs!
So, there have been some concerns expressed about how healthy it is to do 2 classes in a day. Well, I can't answer that question. It is accepted though in the Bikram community. In fact, during any retreat or teacher training 2 classes are done daily and mandatory. There are many students at my studio that go twice a day a few times a week. With that said, I feel that it is ok to do for me once a week.
As for the way I feel, well that is a completely different story. I have soreness like when I started. I can only assume that some of that will regulate as I become used to increasing my schedule. It is nice that my body is reacting to the change. As for my ability in class, well that will take more than just one week of extra classes to show the difference. It only seems natural that it would expedite my improvement. More practice can only lead to better execution.
To keep it simple - work hard, look for more challenge, and rewards will await.
