We are Teachers....Yes we ARE!!!!

Friday 24th June
Revision day with Billi, this went well started off with me being an hour late...
Obviously nothings changed we got distracted by food, then gossip. Eventually we started dialogue in the garden with Woody & Peanut (Billis Dogs) what a good team especially when Woody & Peanut was taking up the Yoga whilst I was trying to demo the floor series. Good revision time. Ready for Billis first class tomorrow CAN NOT WAIT!!!
Whoop 1st night out back! Very excited for a wild night out at the Hoxton Pony. Sooo nice to see the girls. The night started off with the usual drinks & dancing wanted to remember tonight SO NO SHOTS! Awesome night full of wild dancing followed by a lady pile up...time to go home now. Maloy & I take it too far oppps.

Saturday 25th June
Billi's first class!!!! Oh dear with a hangover no way could I ever teach a class feeling like this, I need to evaluate my future social life....
Billi's class was awesome really rocked it! Spool proud of her had the dialogue down and did incredibly. I need to study more definitely.
Damn not happening today I've got Alissa's baby shower at mine. Got home to find little Antronella in my bed super hungover. Had such a wonderful day with the girls NO ALCOHOL at all. mummy & Daddy Hong are home tonight whoop! So nice to see them Alex & I was super sleepy but stayed up to see them tea & cupcakes and a wicked catch. Missed them soooo much. Mummys advise for my 1st class "Be just like me confident & calm not like your Daddy." hahaha too funny.

Sunday 26th June

Spent the entire day with my parents was soooo nice shopping and Lunch before they left me to do a bit of revision in the garden, absolutely boiling today!!! Nice got my Lulu lemon CRAZY cropped pants on and black crop top, very happy with my outfit choice. Alex took me to the studio was wonderful to see a few friendly faces, Gemma, Shaz, Sophie and of course Steve & Billi! The class was going well oh except only did 5 sets of pranayama in the second set whoops! The rest of the class got left & rights muddled up but felt good! In fact invicible things can only get better from here. I really felt a true buzz powerful from teaching! Love love love and can't wait for my next!!! Alex came in at Rabbit pose looking at me through the glass window his support made me feel great!

Can't wait for Helena's class tomorrow xoxo

London Air

Love love love London! The minute I land down pour, what a way to be greeted, when I come out of arrivals I look for Alex, his just standing there watching me waiting for something to happen...bless him I think he was in shock it's been 9 weeks the longest time we have been apart. On the way home the scene is set raining and gloomy but Alex & I couldn't care less we have each, listening to great music / Bens band Lavista & one of the tracks is called "London Air". When I get home it's perfect & clean and I am also welcomed with a huge bunch of white & pink roses Alex is very proud of his home made flower display. Sooo nice to be home, with Alex friends & family.

Tuesday 21st June
Wakey wakey rise & shine, 11.30am eyelash appointment, laser yes....Princesshongers is back!!!! Went in my old office Clarins, funny even though I was here for 5 years really felt like a visitor, my desk is no longer my desk and neither is the office although no matter what I will still remain good friends with the team Louisa,Castleface & Justine! Very late brunch with Aurora...actually skipped the food and gossiped over a bottle.
Went and met up with Swani, Quaung, Kirsty & all my nieces & nephew god they have grown it's only been 9 weeks & their all my height. Yoga is suppose to stretch your spine well I'm still waiting...oh amazing news Tuan (My big Bro is coming for 3 weeks in July) his the person that mainly encouraged me to go for the Bikram training.

Wednesday 22nd June
OMGesus slept in till 3pm obviously I really needed it! Finished all my house things and made Alex a lovely romantic meal LOVe cooking zoo nice to have a home cooked meal. Today ideally should have revised dialogue although I watched the entire season of Gossip Girl & 90210!!! It was too damn gripping.

Thursday 23rd June
After only a few hours of sleep got up at 530am to attend 6am class at Canary Wharf. I actually miss the double yoga sessions a day felt a bit worried about not practicing for a week but it was totally fine of course 30 people in the room it was in fact bliss! Conny the manager is looking forward for my first class Sunday 6pm and emailed in the afternoon offering 6am classes which works perfect for me! It's all happening and I love it. back home to organize Alissa's baby shower! What a busy week I have now uploading pictures on Facebook & wrinintg this blog Oh dear no dialogue again surprise surprise ! Although I have managed to clear the Sky plus memory 74% free now so Glee today, Gossip Girl & 90210 down only raising hope to go!

Billi called me the minute she landed whoo hoo real revision tomorrow !

Good Bye LA LA Land xoxo

Ready ready ready!!! Going to make the most of my last day yes in deed deedy! Showered and brunch which was sooo lovely! Steve & Paula are soo generous and kind really makes me feel welcome sharing funny stories of training and more Steve let us know he had his belly button pierced at a Paul Weller concert....absolute roar of laught from Cara & I how surreal!!!! 
Getty Museum to absorb some culture and art. What an amazing place, beautiful unique gardens, sculptures, a special history of Cuba exhibition. 
Then we hit Santa Monica, anyone say bloomingdale sale...I really wanted a Marc Jacobs clutch...wah no luck time to leave Billi & family and get a taxi the Radisson or not Karima wasn't leaving the championship until 4.30pm so one last walk in BrandyMelville & Nordstorm finally purchased a cute pair of toms comfy shoes! Then taxi back - miracle worker again!!! How was I going to do this! 9 weeks worth of shopping in 2 cases which had to be 23kg...screw it I'll pay the extra fee! Final dinner with Karima and met up with Ben & Gemma also, strange but just felt like I was in-between classes or something. It definitely did not feel like the last supper. Farewell to Ben from Taz, good luck in your music career...and teaching.  

To the airport! Of course one of my cases was 33 KG so a penalty fare just my style. Karima kindly took me and shared a very emotional farewell. This was hard but I was strong a few tears but a sheer feeling of relief to be coming home to my reality and life with Alex. These 9 weeks have been difficult without him but worth everything we have both felt being absent from each other a new founded respect for each other.  

Straight my gate boarded the plane immediately. Watched the Kings speech which is completely suiting after learning how to control my nervous enertoad en delivering my dialogue - what an increible movie. Now sitting here listening to the XX album NOT crying, yes NO tears writing 4 days worth of blogs then revision on my dialogue in preparation for my first class this time next week! 

Farewell LA LA Land you have been kind to me xoxo

Where am I who am I ???

Water...thirsty...woke up at 6am with the driest mouth ever!!! Guzzling water to the point it was dripping all over my face when an arm reaches out oh yeah Cara stayed my loud thirst quenching drink woke her up. Back to bed but not for long...RING RING - "Morning Get up! Pack! we're leaving at 10am!!!" shouts a very excited Billi. Oh yes she had a hair appointment in Rodeo for 11am! The first day of freedom what better way to spend it with last minute shopping trip. I looked at my disgrace of a room where I decided to pack last night drunk bad bad bad idea now I had to reorganize and reevaluate my situation. I have shopped soo much I wasn't too sure how I could make this work, phew I did it - yoga teacher & miracle worked my talents are endless. 

Bumped into Wayne on my dash out an emotional hug and wished him all the best for the future. 

All checked out and ready to hit Rodeo, what a beautiful day sun shining felt beautiful not even a tiny bit of a hangover. Left Billi at Cristophe a extremely flash & trendy hairdressers, whilst Cara & I nit the shops. First stop ye old faithful Victorias Secrets, last minute yoga stuff for my teaching career then Lulu Lemon soo much amazing outfits I could teach in huge blow out...whoops my case was already on it's maximum capacity! Cara and I had stumbled across the Debbie Reynolds Exhibition & Auction! This amazing place had every iconic outfit from Film history to the famous Marilyn Monroe white dress to the armor in Ben Hur. Definitely a highlight of my holiday...I mean my Yoga training. The most interesting thing I saw was the auction of Judy Garlands Dorethy blue & white dress from the wizard of OZ. Starting $80,000 and sold for $1000,000!!! Lunch with Billis parents and Cara, Billi eventually finished her hair at 5pm but it was worth it, blonde babe. Walked down Rodeo drive obviously Chanel was the first place, hhhmmmm this seasons colours beige, brown & grey - not happy enough for me I require a Pink Chanel maybe next season...

No I was staring to feel exhausted but needed to pick my self up and solider through! Taxi to the W hotel in Hollywood, Billi's Dad kindly booked us a suite there!!! What a complete difference wowsters "FANCY PANTS OR WHAT" this contemporary plush hotel decor is right up my street. Feel like Princesshongers through & through! LOUISA SMITH called me sooo nice to catch up & can not wait to be go out with a bang tonight!!! Got ready for dinner at Dria's followed by nightclub! What an eventful evening Cara's little bro Tom & friend Noah joined us for Dance off!!! Tequila shots, Red Wine, Vodka soda, finishing off with a Whiskey Ginger obviously making up for lost time. Guest appearance from Mary J Blige! And she sang live! Awesome. Pole dancing with Billi & Tom hahaha nuts! The clubs in LA finsh early was solo not ready for bed & nit her was Cara! Wanted to dance more, so Billi was a good girl and went straight back whilst Cara and I went to an after party with some residence at the W Hotel whom we soon learnt owner half of Dria's what a plush apartment next door to Justin Timberlake pity he was an absolute prick, every thing mentioned to us regarding the apartment had an announcement of the price tag-reality slapped me in the face get home now this is such a waste of my life so we made a sharp exit and shame couldn't back into the suite neither of us had a key! Damn had to wake Billi up double shame! 
Cara & I are clearly a lethal pair.

Graduation

This day I know was going to be unusual although the lost in limbo feeling I had felt earlier this week had disappeared. Right early start need to glamorise myself after a stressful 9 weeks with lots of blood sweat & tears I was more then ready to truly go wild. 

The day started with a trip to starbucks to get my chai tea fix. 
Full cleanse then hair appointment in Lilly's room which looked like the set of Americas next top model, make up artists and hairdressers blowing drying and spraying up a frenzy! Sat in the chair getting a wedding style up do with a glass of champagne feeling like this is how it may feel when I am eventually getting married, pampered & feeling more special then ever. Time was definitely not on my side, felt completely rushed, unfortunately I am a skilled false eyelash attacher so spent some time doing this for others...selfless or what! I decided the thought of collecting my certificate with unpainted nails would NOT be an option therefore during the seating in the ballroom hall I gave myself a French manicure. I don't think my fellow students around me was impressed by the fumes but what could I do? My nails are a huge part of my life. 

The graduation speeches from Lisa Jonhnson, Rajashreee, Emmy, Bikram, & Jim was brilliant and most of all the the demonstration team with Tully, Andrea from my group was a true inspiration although Estella a dancer showed her elegance & grace performing every posture at the advanced level. 
Certificate time, as I joined the que in alphabetical order I began to think this is it, 9 weeks of this intense training - 2 weeks of Anatomy, 7 weeks of full dialogue revision, 80 lectures, 98 Yoga classes & a handful of Bollywood movies to the early morning had finally come to an end. Billi, Wayne, Ben & I had kept a squeaky clean record of not one make-up class, incredible. All this hardwork to receive a confirmation certificate proving every bead of sweat was worth been it and to continue practicing what we preached, back to the 37 countries where we have all came from and inspiring others to improve their health and possibly inspire them to become Bikram yoga teachers themselves.

Party time! Dinner was served followed by drinks at the the bar downstairs! After several shots of tequila with Lilly, Red wine with Cara & Billi & a much deserved gin & tonic with Wayne I was ready to hit the dance floor! Get down low and dougy! Sooo much fun although the rest of the night was a blur - evidence of late night room service and a video Billi took of Cara & practicing yoga in my room - oh dear.... 

I would not have changed anything I have experienced the past 9 weeks, Billi & I worked hard but played hard...actually maybe played a bit more then we should have. 
I have met the most incredible spirits here
Karima beautiful on the inside & outside. 
Wayne a true rock & someone who pushed me to my potential. 
Ben an amazingly good guy with the pure talent of music which makes my heart go warm. 
Maggie loud and proud but beyond that a true heart of gold. 
Ambiya a powerful woman with who taught me to see the good in everyone. 
And last but the most important person on my training Ms Billi Mucklow the most fearless, confident person on this training course. Even though I have superficially looked after Billi she has emotionally looked after me, every teardrop,  laughter & rage shared with her. I know this is only the beginning of Princesshongers & Brave Billis Bikrams International Adventures...........

Final day

Last day of classes feels completely surreal. 8.30am class taught by Rajashree - what a powerful class I always feel much stronger practising next to friends Luiciana, Helena, Beau, Karima, Ben & Wayne. At the end of the class the whole of training stood, clapped and showed our respect and thanks to Rajashree, she got a bit emotional which also made most of us share her tears. 

Afternoon lecture was very much required, Bikram had to go through the rest of the postures and I was certain there would be plenty of questions - I had an inkling this day would be longer then expected. Well what do you know I was right he completed the postures at 6.30pm therefore class began at 7pm instead of 5pm. 

This class was a defining moment for all 430 students. All  additional family, friends, guest teachers, and everyone whom has come for the championships & graduation would be attending this class making it possibly 700 plus in the hot room with us today surely some kind of record. You could feel the excitement and power from everyone. Billi & I got an incredible place at the front with Nancy, Karolina, Tully, Karima & Dee.  I felt awesome during this class Strong, powerful & focused the sheer confirmation this class was my last on training. My 9 week journey had come to the end, an absolute evolution from the  first class where I left the hot room, missed postures & lost determination. Today I had given my mind, body soul to my practise and truly believe this training has made me a stronger person. The class finished on a high, spine twist where I could feel the tears of pure genuine happiness pushing through. The class roared with cheers - everyone showed each other how proud they where of themselves & fellow students. Billi & I had an emotional hug with tears of joy, for 5 whole minutes I completely lost myself in the joy & cheers hugging sweaty bodies...then I threw myself back into my reality this was actually gross I had to leave and shower and cleanse my aura. 

Bikrams last lecture, deep meditation and the end of this training and it wouldn't be a lecture without Billi getting her blackberry taken off her.

Amazing Advanced Bikram Class.

Sindy from London taught this morning - amazing HIGH ENERGY class! Makes such a difference London girls, Helena, Luiciana, Billi & I went straight to the front. Er oh I was right next to the demonstration team, interesting how good my practise will be next to these PRO's. Good class strong and focused. Sindy was awesome representing for LONDON!!!

12noon Emmy did a demonstration Advanced class with the best Yogi's World champions from around the world, Ashley-Vancover, Brandy-LA, Juan, Eric, Joseph-Australia and much more, infact there was 2 juniors one boy, one girl no older then 12. What an incredible class, it literally BLEW MY MIND. Never seen an advanced class before 84 postures at the highest level I will ever see in my life. I could not keep my eyes off Ashley graceful, precise, focused & the strength was immense. Elen from teaching training was also doing this demonstration she was STRONG. This inspirational class shows what level you could be at through persistence and hard work.

No afternoon class although Rajashree finished her lecture and Bikram continued his. Billi's parents Steve & Paula arrived today she was in her eliment. She's been waiting to see them! Was nice to see her happy makes the whole graduation feel soo close now.

Bikram hit us with another Bollywood...I knew it was too good to be true.

Last Tuesday...

Wow woke up after 3hours of sleep so my 8.30am was AWFUL.

During the day lecture about bone density, how Bikram yoga has helped with evidence from case studies, they are currently doing further research with some of the team on training so the results from this will be interesting.

9pm Lecture Bikram began the 26 postures, during this 2 very important men from India came in, they will be judging the World championships this weekend and founded the first competition Bikram competed in. When they came in Bikrams's entire aura changed. He touched their feet, then his head & heart as a sign of respect. It was amazing to see how they had such a control over someone as important as Bikram, they had a definite presence to them.

Yay Bikram let us free at 12.58am after calling Billi & I out for looking pretty sleepy.
Sorry won't happen again.

Week 9, can you believe it!!!

OMG yes it's week 9!!!! Amazing, incredible IM SUPER EXCITED!!!

Well I know this week will fly by although absolutely gutted the weather is more then awful, no chance of topping my tan. Thanks LA.

Today was strange - starting to feel scared about graduation I know I'm going to be in limbo until I get home and possibly in London too. It's strange I've come here for the Yoga training course and slip into holiday mode on the weekends but when its all over I know I'll be relieved but very sad leaving this yoga bubble.

9pm lecture with Bikram, last Bollywood movie his promised!!! 4am finish...
This week will possibly be longer then I thought.

Dialogue Sunday

Good Morning World!!!

Woke up feeling bright and energetic! Spoke to Alex whom was at a family wedding, first family function I've missed in 6 years we've been together. His decided to take me away when we get back special sercret trip soo need to work out dates!!! Very exciting!!! Then spoke to Maloy good old girly catch up, can't believe I'm coming home in a week. Sooo much to sort out when I get home, Teaching classes, Alissa Baby shower, Lisa's Wedding, Marys Birthday the list is endless...back to my reality.

Venice beach for the last time, beautiful brunch with Sam, Tully & Karima then went to the Converse Customising shop. Good Bye Venice Beach

Back to the hotel and decided to revise Dialogue for the rest of the day, very good girl!!! Infact A star student. Feel good although very sleepy. Got my case ready for packing only 1 week left then home!

If there's something I've definitely began enjoying from this Training it is time to myself even though I miss Billi & the girls & guys, I have throughly enjoyed my own company this evening and believe I will do from now on.

Perfect Saturday xoxo

8am class joined by Cara Billi's BBF from Essex, I wish my friends where here ...Oh...just reminded myself I only have 1 week with Maloy when I get back.

Anyways difficult class body is still aching so going to take it easy this weekend with plenty of rest I want to be my strongest for the last week of training - crazy but true this Bikram training course is coming to an END.

Right destination
1. Beverley Hills to drop Cara's case off.
Wow what an amazing house her & her brother are staying in, amazing view of the hills and amazing decor! Billi is working on getting me to stay out although really want to see the people I feel I will not be crossing paths with soon although really feel strange about not spending the weekend with her. I need to get use to it I suppose in preparation for London. I really feel when we get home it will have a huge effect on us.
2. Brunch then Shopping, Beverley Hills & Robertson - Beautiful boutiques and up Market stores. Karima & Cara got their nails done so Billi & I walked and found ourselves at the Beverley Centre. Ouch now the aches and pains have kicked in ouch, ouch, ouch.
3.Santa Monica more shopping finally got Alex his trainers, Brandy Melville & Kitson, I need to stop this mad shopping obsession poor bank account. oh well everything I purchase are
essentials
4.Osuma sushi dinner with Nancy, Tully, Karima, Ben, Wayne, Dee, Taylor, Gemma, and Mika &
Jane teachers from Melbourne. Couldn't even look at the menu so Wayne helped order - what a sensational decision all food the food was perfect! What beautiful dinner with beautiful company. I really enjoyed myself & will genuinely be gutted when graduation comes and I will
be saying goodbye.

I have such a perfect Saturday now absolutely shattered in bed gossiping with Karima.

Lovely xoxo

Freedom Friday

Not feeling well today sicky sick sick infact. So 8.30am was not the Nestor my ability looking forward for my body to relax this weekend. Need to also practise dialogue - go away distractions!

So afternoon lecture consisted of Bikram TV show interviews from the 70's to the now. First time seeing clips of Rajashree practising was very impressive. Seeing Bikram from 27 to now notings changed.

5pm class film crew in - wahhh totally forgot wish I wore a cuter outfit. Oh well I shortly forgot about when Bikram told us we had the night off! Amazing freedom Friday! Dinner with Ben, Wayne, Tully, Nancy & Karima. Was really nice to be way from e hotel nice & normal. Then met Billi & Cara not a late night, infact sensible all home before 12midnight

Goodnight xoxo

10 days to go!!!

Only 10 days know and the thought of seeing Alex soon makes me all warm! Can't wait!

Found pout MAloy is moving to LA for a few a months for work, feeling sad but really happy for her. Wish we could have had LA together! Billi BF Cara came today so looking forward to a rocking weekend! And also made me miss Maloy even more.

Rajashree had an amazing lecture this afternoon with Nikky from Toronto demonstrating postures all picture perfect!

Dinner with the London girls, Sindy & Michael for a good old London catch up which was really nice. I'm getting very excited about teaching now too!

The Mahabharata

Feeling sleepy today and so does my body although Sindy & Michael teachers from London are here today it's soo nice to see familiar faces its surreal.

After class My body had it absolute agony, I wanted to cry it was difficult to get my sweaty Yoga kit off ouch. Constructive break today need to look for Case for our certificates for Graduation NEXT WEEK!.....So exciting obviously got distracted by the signs of a nail salon and got our nails done instead whoops and had to rush back with only 4 minutes to spare before sign In was closed!!! Close call I need to maintain my clean record of perfect attendance and NO MAKE UP CLASSES.

Sooooo sleepy by noon lecture, literally feel like I've been shot with a tranquilliser gun, my eyes could not stay open - therefore I did what I needed to to do and napped. Felt a millions times better after though!!! 5pm class was my strongest for sure worked next to Luciana and she kept on telling me I was beautiful during spine strengthening series hilarious but definitely gave me the boost I needed. Can't believe my worst class to the best in the same day strange.

Bikram kindly told us be in lecture for 9pm and you'll be finished for 1am very important class tonight....Yes The Mahabharata. Luckily got the best seats in the house with leg space and leaning position, perfect.

Meditation

Lilo break at the pool yay! I love how we've turnt the Radisson Pool into some kind of pink lilo convention. Weather has been lovely Sooo it's been nice to top up the Tan before going home next week!

Noon lecture was a taster of graduation. A full register of every single student to confirm pronunciations...yes 427 of us.

5pm class was powerful, Lisa Rodgers taught and at the end we did a full meditation. The energy of around 450 including visiting teachers was immense - what an amazing experience.

10pm Lecture we made the last 2 rows into a nail salon, I miss nail evenings with the girls and this made me homesick. It's ok though because before I know it I will be back to my reality.

Today I genuinely feel lucky & happy. My life is perfect I will always have something positive to look forward to. Forever. I love my life.

One Word!

One word to describe today "LONG"
I honestly feel because I had soo much fun yesterday the drastic contrast of this "LONG" Monday was just painful. 8.30am even though I slept like I was dead for a solid 8 hours which is more then normal, at home I usually only get around 6 hours a night and function fine. I was super duper sleepy. My body literally feels like I have abused by a sledge hammer!

Last day of posture clinic! Hooray amazing, am I heartless cold bitch for not being sad? Possibly...nah I bet everyone's glad it's over. I'm ready to go home now more then ever I know I shouldn't will the last 2 weeks away although it's really difficult not to.

Got a confirmation email from Canary Wharf Offical my my first class will be Sunday 26th June 6pm!!! Very excited!!!! Can't wait it's going to be soo amazing.

Evening lecture Bikram kindly gave us the option of stay for movie "Wanted" with James Mcovoy, Angelina Jolie awesome movie although I've seen it so I'm in bed watching Entourage and cuddling bubbles

Good night xoxo

Universal Studios & a bit of Spot 5750!!!

Woke Up this morning like it was Christmas Day!!! Sooo freaking excited about Universal Studios!!!

Got ready and headed straight to Universal Studios with Billi & Maggie wish Ambiya & Karima was with us not a whole without them!

Awesome no traffic and not busy when we arrived SMOOTH SAILING! First started off with Studio tour! Jurassic Park, King Kong, Western, New York City, Mexico & my favourite Desperate House wives Wisteria Lane! OMG the flowers are silk and sprayed with water just before filming!!! Then continued Jurrasic Park wate ride, Simpsons roller coaster, Mummy ride, Shrek 3D Water world show, personally my favourite was HAUNTED HOUSE, yes folks as you know I'm actually scared of the dark and hate things like this although had to convince Billi to do it "It's going to be FUN, PLEASE!" anyway why oh why this was the most traumatising experience of my life walking through this HELL the following creatures come out, sick Frankenstein, Werewolf Man, Chain Saw Massacre thing, Psycho Killer, weird Hammer scientist WORST EVER as Alex would say I am a pure target the people dressed as these characters saw us coming a mile OFF, so what to do scare US MORE by waiting and praying on us which resorted into violently grabbing on innocent people & using them as HUMAN SHIELDS. At one point my jumpsuit dropped round my waist OH DEAR!!! Screaming with fear is not cool!!!

Decided to stay in Hollywood and stumbled across Spot 5750, Yes Sunday Funday & NBA finals! Miami VS Dallas. Stayed for some dinner and some Dancing very very very fun.

So stupidly living life on the edge for Billi & I no food shopping for the week...Oh well this will be the 2 weeks we become size 0's before coming home.

Early night for Week 8!!!

It's time to stop shopping!

8am class was literally hell on earth my entire body is killing me, even my jar-line What is happening! Lucky it's the weekend!

Shopping time!!! Beverley Hills whoop whoop! You know it's your time to stop shopping when you have broken the chip & pin and the swiper on your Visa Card - considering it was a new card before I came to LA...Maybe it's a sign to stop.
anyways luckily I still managed to purchase all the essentials (what I would class as essentials)

Then Billi & I decided to watch Hangover 2, brilliant! loved loved loved it! Hilarious.

Time for bed early night so we can attend Universal Studios tomorrow! Whoop!

Photo Shoot Friday & pizza party!

Hhhmmmmmm after going to bed at 4.30am - yes you read correctly 4.30am class at 8.30am was going to be interesting. Well actually a good class held my standing head to knee...the first time in must be 3 weeks now.

Pool time, the first appearance of my wonderfully pink lilo! Was soo nice not to be reciting dialogue although spoke to Tully & Ben and the reality is it's just a break from it because when I'm back in London I need to know it word for word. Interesting Lecture with Rajashree, I have actually been looking forward to this. Defines the purpose of why I'm here again-good timing it's all relative.

5pm killer class on top of us 430 students an additional 200 teachers so the room was hot and jam packed. The sweat was like nothing I have experienced before completely dripping wet by Pranayama breathing. Billi, Wayne & I stayed strong stayed in the class although wayne did every posture w had to sit out. Towards the spine strengthening series I felt my throat closing.

Pizza party! So this was going to be interesting my first non-alcoholic party since I was 13!!! Yes just like a school disco we had pizza & pop. The music energy and dancing was awesome. Everyone really let their hair down.

I left the part at 9.30pm to meet my cousin Phoung & boyfriend Ray. Lovely went for Sushi and a family catch up. Obviously skimmed across current family affairs and spoke about Bikram mainly as per usual. They told me I have developed from 6 weeks ago to now??? For the better, calm, sensitive & more positive. The yoga has obviously focused my train of thought. As you know I am looking forward to returning to my reality. My home with Alex, friends, family & social life. I wonder how much I have actually changed & am looking forward to embracing it.

Final Spinal!!!!

I am on the final Posture and yes fate made it happen Billi and I are in the same posture clinic, have to deliver. I have study first though! Made an executive decision to head straight to starbucks then round robin the posture with Billi, Tully, Nancy & Marta. Went seriously well the delivery was awesome A team - Tara - Tully - Billi then Me !!!
I seriously was like a excited child jumping up and down very emotional!

Now time for serious fun fun fun!!!

Rumor had it the evening class was going to be a double! Luckily not true!
Although pizza party Friday was true hhhmmmm I wonder if I have to stay for it? Personally I hate pizza although only 16 days here I should get involved.

Lecture with Bikram all relative and now a Bollywood flick good position only took me 7 weeks to master it.

1st June Already!!!!

OMG-ESUS it's 1st June already only 17 days till graduation, 20 days until I get to have cuddles with Alex, 21 days till I'm out with my fellow yellows & other beautiful friends, 22days till I see my Parents!!!

Posture clinic in the lecture hall finally, time to use the mic and gain that powerful feeling! Head to Knee with stretching pose went almost perfect! Feed back was amazing,
"Lisa you have natural stage presence and you already teach!!!" Thanks James xoxo
I wore my cutest Yoga outfit although suffered due to the air-con on full blast, oh well suffering for fashion is the least of my worries.

5pm Bikram class killed it the heat was mental, knowingly we had a lecture till god only knows what time didn't help either. Had soo much fun in lecture with Billi, Wayne, Ben, Nancy & Tully making weekend lists and bucket lists so actually went fast, Not too shabby 1.30am bed time.

Now for Spine Twist Pose revision good night everyone xoxo

Trust this weird process?

I'm sick of hearing "Trust the process" so I have amended it to "Trust this weird process"
Although today is the first day I have really agree with it.

After the 8.30am class this morning I layed in Savasana realising this is not my reality - my reality is My house with Alex, my wild but beautiful friends, my supportive Parents my love for shopping, shoes and partying. In 3 weeks I will be back to this life and everything here will just be a memory. I will not be staying at the Radisson LAX, I will not be sharing a bedroom, I will no longer be restrained on time limits and I will probably never see around 400 of these people again. No matter how much I tell my friends and loved ones what has happened here they will never understand although they will want to it just won't happen.

Posture clinic waa awesome today felt well prepared and really felt like I was teaching from my heart "Standing deep Breathing, Camel & Rabbit" so only 2 postures left now. Tully in my group was asked to do balancing stick she became superwoman and taught the class with power, energy and most of all with her heart! Made me emotional for her, tears of joy it's incredible to see people grow especially when your genuine friends with them. And this is called "Trust this weird process!"
