Bikram Yoga...

While styling my friend who will be one of the awardees in this year’s Preview Magazine’s Best Dressed List, the designer I got to dress her up, the very talented Tina Daniac, invited me to join her in checking out Bikram Yoga in Salcedo. After doing a final fitting of the dress, we were on our way to the yoga studio. To be honest, the yoga place is just across the street from where I stay, and I have always wanted to try it out. It was a nice thing that Tina decided to invite me since she had no one to go and try it out. And we are now converts, we did 3 sessions in less than a week. The place is located inside an aircconditioned building, however, Bikram has no aircon and it was really a hot place. We sweat it out like crazy, I had to squeeze my towel afterwards to remove the sweat. I cried most of the times, not out of heat but because I was starting to listen more to what the yoga master was saying. Yoga is actually good for the body and especially for the soul. Affirmations are being recited and all you just have do is to lie down and listen in between the poses. While removing the toxins thru sweating, you absorb positive things, such as “love yourself before you love others”, “you are not your mind, you are your spirit, listen to your spirit and not your mind”, “let go, release all your senseless wandering and just focus”. I never felt so relaxed the past few months, all the anxieties mounting up, my being jobless and all the negative feelings I have inside, the break up, the pent-up anger toward others, friends and foes alike. I am really feeling frustrated, with people that promised you jobs, promised you friendships, promised you love, which of course I took with a grain of salt since I know myself better. I guess yoga is really something I must do, although it is a bit expensive, I am going to feel better afterwards. Clients have started to call, friends starting to call out other friends on my behalf for possible projects. Thank you Ms. Tina for the dress and thanks for bringing me to Bikram Yoga, we are now converts..And we can't hardly wait for the Best Dressed Party of Preview Magazine in Embassy.
