The end of the 40 Day Hot Yoga challenge… the beginning of a new me

March 17, 2012 by Guest Author 1 Comment

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade There is no real way to describe how amazing it feels to successfully complete a 40-day Hot Yoga challenge... But I will try to put it into words. As I bowed my head and thanked myself, my classmates and my teacher at the end of my final class on the final day of this immense six week challenge, I felt both hugely happy and super sad. It is pretty obvious why I felt happy. I had made it to the end, proudly stuck up all my 30 stickers … [Read more...]

Hazel’s 40-Day Hot Yoga Challenge: She’s counting down

March 2, 2012 by Guest Author 2 Comments

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade As I head into my last week of the 40-day Hot Yoga challenge, I have to start by telling you about something I overheard. While waiting to head into a class I was listening to a woman telling one of the teachers (or guides if you prefer) how she had already finished her challenge... ages ago. And, as if I wasn’t wowza-ed enough by that statement, she then went on to say how she was still going strong and using her stickers to finish … [Read more...]

Hazel hits the halfway mark of her 40-Day Hot Yoga Challenge

February 18, 2012 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade So.... last weekend I hit the halfway mark in my first ever 40-day hot yoga challenge. And, I have to say, it felt absolutely wonderful. Not only because completing 15 classes of yoga in 20 days has left me feeling fabulous inside and out. But also – and maybe even more importantly – I feel great having committed to something which is making a positive change in my life. Some of you may remember me telling you at the beginning that the … [Read more...]

Learning, laughter and letting go: Hazel on her first 10 days of a Hot Yoga Challenge

Hot Yoga Teacher Lou gives student Hazel an adjustment

 by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade “Hazel... Are you mad?” This was the reaction of one of my friends when I told her I was entering into a 40 day Hot Yoga challenge. And, I have to admit, over the past 10 days I have often asked myself that very same question. At the beginning of last week, just days into the challenge, it would have been an unequivocal yes. And let me tell you why. For the first few days of this challenge I ached. My whole body … [Read more...]

Inside a 40-Day Hot Yoga Challenge – will Hazel go the distance?

January 20, 2012 by Guest Author Leave a Comment

by guest author & freelance writer Hazel Slade In my early twenties, the only place you would have found me sweating profusely in a room full of people while twisting my body into unusual positions followed by swigging back a green coloured liquid, would have been in a club on a Saturday night. But now, just weeks away from my 31st birthday, I find myself doing exactly this.... but, this time around, for an entirely different reason. On Monday, January 23, I will tackle my … [Read more...]
