Day 89 and 90: Teaching 100th class ....CENTURY MARK

Day 89 Wow can one weekend of bad eating really effect you : Well apparently my cell phone managed to be 3 hours off but no worries i was still able to make it to noon boxing, couldnt push it as much for sure , went on to do my second last day at shapes with a shoulder work out and then went to flow 2 which had my left tricep cramp up , not cool! It was Nena`s last class before she left for her leave so I wish her the best. I ended the night watching hot tub time machine which was totally awesome and highly recommended, John Cusack you get a shout out because you are truly underrated.

Day 90: Well taught my first Moksha flow at 6 am that got a really good reaction , I was thank for not sounding robotic and then I watched biggest loser , got my ever so powerful nap in and did a noon boxing class where I swear sue just tore me to shreads and my shoulders were just in sooo much pain , soooo worth it though! Finished off my final day at shapes with a chest work out and for the remainder of the day I taught the 5:30 which had a surprisingly low turn out but the day was sooo nice outside, it overall went well but I did have people come up to me and complement how it wasnt too hot, finish off the night with a spacious Robin hot flow and headed to bed early in order to teach the 6 am on thursday

day 84-88 Blogging to you from Regina

Day 84 : Another very active day for me , kept my triple threat streak still alive and strong , the triple threat is when I am able to perform at high levels when I go to the gym , boxing and yoga in the same day. This went really well for me and I taught two classes as well , I got to take Adrienne `s class for the first time and enjoyed her twists in moksha flow class

Day 85: Today marks my 2nd year anniversary and Moksha yoga winnipeg , my very first class was with Ryann on Wednesday and it for a 9 pm hatha class , I was with two friends Britney and Laura and Paul was working the desk , I also bought a lock and just felt amazing after the class , at this time I was certain I would return but I couldn`t of ever imagin it would be consistanly for two years. I got to celebrate this day by teaching my first 4 class day by the last class I felt like that was where I had the most energy for some reason , this was an overall great day despite me opting not to do my own yoga practice, go to the gym or boxing.

Day 86 : The horse got carried into extreme by me waking up early on Saturday and go to join the fellow pan am boxers in an intense class , also got some in ring work accomplished with an intructor(lisa who is the dude that always wear the backwards hat) and went on to do some yoga right after , it was very different to see Ryann at Donald on a Saturdya but I was super happy she was there teaching the class , afterwards I went to take a nap which set me up for a huge leg workout where I was trying to make it my goal to work them out so hard I would no really be able to use them the next couple days, reason being, see day 87 and 88

Day 87:woke up at 6 am to start driving to Regina , the drive was a little tough due to my lack of sleep but overall it went well , later on I got to see a few friends and make a new one , spent some time with the buddies that shared memories of Bryan and then I finish off on a positive note watching South park

Day 88: blogging right now, a couple hours away from the funeral , I won`t be back in winnipeg til later tonight so no practice , gym or yoga , back to kicking it in high gear Tuesday

Day 81-83 R.I.P Bryan Khan March 13 1977-March 24 2010

Day 81 Back on the wagon: Taught two classes today and took Robin `s hot flow which got super intense and then i did the hatha which for some reason seemed even hotter , I don`t remember the last time I `ve seen so many go down in Hatha class , it was quite fun and entertaining though , I did also do boxing and an arm work out so overall very productive work out day after my weekend of bad eating. Ended the night off watching new moon with my 4 male friends.... yup

Day 82 Waking up 6 hours later,same results : Woke up at 11:20 am then went to boxing , had a little break and went to the gym , the workout went a little longer then expected and I had to miss flow 2 which was fine , i just went to Robin`s hot flow instead which was indeed very challenging and consecutive days of holding 9 poses for 1008 seconds , very good times and I kind of wish I did not do a crazy leg workout before hand. Finish off this night watch Alice in Wonderland 3D with the same 4 male friends...yup

Day 83: It has been a very good week in terms of working out feeling great, first I started off by teaching the mourning class at waverley where I exsperience someone having an emotional release while I gave the adjustment , I felt totally awesome afterwards because she went to thank me right away and said it was exactly what she needed due to added on stress within the last couple of weeks , feels great to know I was able to really impact someone and make a difference , taking this positive energy and excitment I headed to the gym immediately and did a very productive shoulder work out. Taught a wicked class at 5:30 and then did another day of Robin`s class with again another 1008 seconds class , with repetition these classes do get easier :) , unfortunetly not all was well by the end of the night , I received a call from my brother that a good friend of family`s had passed away , he had recently suffered a heart attack and was doing fine afterwards or he at least gave the implacation he was doing ok but last night due to after effects he was found dead his home by his mom at 4pm last night , it was just a real shock considering he was only 33.

Remembering Brian , my first memories of the guy was that he was always known as the party animal and was always full of nice , always being known for wild stories and he would always complement my mom`s cooking and his attempts to speak laotion are some of the funniest things I can remember, I always remember hearing story where he snuck upstairs during a house party and raided the refridgerator and started eating spagetti with his hands , he ended up waking the girl`s dad and caught him red handed , when he was caught he simply ran.When he graduated from high school he shocked everyone and then shocked even more people when he became the first person out of brother`s crew to attend university , he completed what he needed to do and impressed everyone when he achieved his goal of going from mall security guard to his permanent career job of being a parole officer. Brian was always filled with quirky facts about mike tyson ,wrestling and other male macho things,The last time we chatted he mentioned I was a stud and the he would like to incorparate yoga in his life, he was a great friend and I will always look at him as an older brother , he will be missed by many and will never be forgotten.

Day 77-80 very unproductive

Day 77 : Well I guess this day could not be included in the theme of being unproductive , I got my boxing , gym and hot yoga class in before having to do the closing shift at Safeway,it was very exciting considering it `s my last week there , on a side note of actual class , It was good times practicing with Lindsay Rayter because I think she pretty much looks identical to Mika so it was overall positive energy in that room!

Day 78: Still got to fit in my 6:45am boxing class before going to work a mourning shift at safeway, afterwards no gym or class just headed to bed and then woke up to head to the waverley studio to teach the Karma class , where i ran into a who`s who of randoms , including two people from shapes, my favourite teacher`s daughter and a guy I work with on a movie 4 years ago , re called many memories including working with Carmen electra and having to film til 6am, ended the night watching some MTV which I`ve never really done with the exception of Jersey Shore

Day 79: Did not really have room for much today except for a thing I like to call work , so got to teach the first two classes which went really well and I think i taught my best moksha flow yet , and then finally got to finish my final day at safeway , soooo happy i finish my last shift I wanted to cry out tears of joy / pull a prank on one of my bodies to show how happy I was I was crying , so i squeezed a lemon in my eyes , only make you cry for about a minute but is very effective, finish the night celebrating with my good buddies just eating cake and watching Glenn Martin DDS.

Day 80: Had two classes to teach today starting at 930 am , for the community class I had 5 friends come to class , two of them left before the standing series and another two friends leave because one had to pick up her son but overall it was to catch up with old friends , just low on energy after teaching i took an early nap and had to end on the night so i could teach the 6am , I will for sure do a class today , i need a good practice in.

Day 75 and 76 held plank the longest out of 44 people

Day 75: The day started off with me sleeping in tIl 1 pm , I guess i was really lacking sleep , well this was for sure very good and was the first day i hadn`t taught a class in a week , so just letting myself have a lazy day, well not exactly the case , went to flow 2 that felt like a hot class , it was pretty funny seeing the girls have make up running expecting the same thing that it would be hot up there, i did some intense boxing afterwards that actually had keeping up with jump squats then finished off the night watching the crazies over alice in wonderland , Im sure i`ll make my way to that one soon.

Day76: Got my boxing on that took sooo much out of me, my works out have just been pretty effective this week but i find i work myself hard that I end up sleeping during the day and then i have trouble sleeping afterwards ,I did do a back work out and headed straight to bed , when i got up it was time to head to the studio to teach in our new heat ,the goal is to try keep everyone in the room but theres always one or two people that go to re-fill their water , looks like everyone else is having the same problem , I guess we need to talk more about the importance of trying to stay in the room , afterwards i did hot flow and we had a plank challenge , whoever could hold plank the longest wins, i was getting pretty tired when it came to the final six also I was very tempted to yell at some people to bring their butts down in plank , in the end in came down to me and Lorna, Robin did not see me still in my plank so she told Lorna to go down , so i would of at least finished top two but we`ll never know who would of stayed up there , anyways i totally lay credit to both pan am and moksha for the reason i was able to last so long , pan am we consistanly hold plank near the end of class and since i taught the class before hand i was a bit lighter!

Day 72 , 73 , 74 Time change

Day 72: Meet up with Mika first thing in the mourning to teach the first two classes at Waverley , as my shift was coming to an end people were leaving in shorts , it looks like spring was here!I decided just nap it up after and then call it an early night... but instead my best friend had a series of random events happen to him that prevented him from working (broken phone, stabbing on bus that never arrived) so we went to cowboys where the only positive thing was i ran into an old friend`s younger sister, nough said, the overall night ended pretty well switching locations and hanging with one of my good friends who I use to always watch flick with

Day 73: Well the time change was not my best friend but had a blast teaching the early mourning class and as I set for community I was put on to teach the music class as well , it was one very long day for me considering all the classes were 90 minutes , overall it was well worth it but still had trouble sleeping in the night.

Day 74: Well taught the first 2 mourning classes at Donald and finished up one of my yoga projects , got a chance to return to boxing and worked up a huge sweat , and then taught an addional 90 min class, I hadnt done my own practice in three days so I decided to take hot flow, which was hot hot indeed! ended the night watching the cove but was drained an fell asleep, and it`s official I gave in my two weeks notice to safeway!

Day 70 and 71 : Setting the goal right now , by the end of this challenge I`m dropping at least 10 pounds

Day 70: Started off with me teaching the 6 am class , lots of a positivity!the energy exchanger did not show up so I hung around the studio and was looking for ideas for teaching my first hot flow class the next day. Afterwards i did an intense leg work out and then unexspectely got asked to teach the a 4:30 moksha , which I did after watching the movie precious , the movie was pretty depressing and a tad overrated but Monique did indeed deserve the Oscar and still worth a viewing, after all that that I decided to do a class in the hot room at Donald which had a Moksha 90 feel hotter then the hot flow from the night before , I kind of felt only me and Shannon Friesen enjoy the heat that high , but we`ll have to see how this holds up , it`s almost like learning again and really challenging yourself kind of like when I first started doing Moksha , this new heat is egnighting my fire!

Day 71:Well I woke up at 6 am and just didn`t have the energy to go to boxing , so I slept! sooooo worth it! and woke up at 11am then went on to do noon boxing class which brought up a huge sweat level(still thinking I was feeling effects from the night before) followed by a chest workout and then teaching my first hot flow filled with very awesome marc supporters , so special shout outs to Melissa, Matt, Shannon and Lorna, afterwards i had to teach the two karma classes tonight which had very intense heat ... GOOOOOOOOOOOD TIMES!gonna sleep so well tonight and then be up bright amd early the two first classes at Waverley ! Also today Mika took a small break and decided to watch the old video I made 2 years ago of when I started first started yoga and decided to drop weight , think the only problem that came with the video was that I drop lots of weight in a short amount of time , so small consistent weight lost to keep it off for good!
