In five years I never entered this annual challenge because I did not think I could manage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/IMG_7143.heic\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-231\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I was encouraged by others and put my name down and today 10.15 am I have completed 25 yoga classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am honoured to teach yoga, one class at Heartspace Barre 11.30 am each Sunday and another 8 per week at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.3dhealthandfitness.co.uk\/cupar\/\">3DFitness <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/realmchiropractic.co.uk\">Realm Chiropractic<\/a>, until today I also taught 32 classes in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had envisaged this exercise to be exhausting, but quite the opposite is true, my body feels nourished, my mind is at peace and I feel so enthusiastic about yoga (practising and teaching).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I join classes for my own wellbeing and fun I very often turn to my favourite teachers, above all Alan Lambie and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.evykoutzas.com\">Evy Koutzas<\/a>. To complete this challenge I ended up attending a variety of classes I had never been to or do not go to on a regular basis (for all sorts of reasons). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During this challenge I really enjoyed Min&#8217;s, Patricia&#8217;s, Rachel&#8217;s and Sarah&#8217;s classes. I have learned a lot about myself and feel inspired to add my newly gained knowledge to my own classes. I have also been able to do a few exercises I could nor master beforehand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The challenge maybe over, the journey it not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I enjoyed most of all is that each teacher has a different style but all of them had to offer so much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you to every one of you who taught in January! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":233,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-229","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=229"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":234,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/229\/revisions\/234"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=229"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=229"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/yogawithkirstin.scot\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=229"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
