So, why I have not been regular on the blog is because I have joined artistic yoga by Bharat Thakur. Now, don’t ask me how they were in the starting because I was literally dead in the first week 
Second week was scary as well but a little less scary!!
Second week was scary as well but a little less scary!!Now, third week has commenced and I was down on Tuesday so I was in a dilemma to continue or not. Anyways, that’s for another post. I wanted to join some activity which would keep me healthy and help me test my body limits even more and this came.
Man, abs exercises are killing!!! Anyways, I want to just list down how my body has changed in the past few weeks. Btw, these classes are for an hour and only on the weekdays. They will end in January and I am tensed how will I keep up. Because, right now, the compulsion and community is working as a motivation.
How my body changed?
- I lost weight, of course!!
- I have more energy, I am less tired and more active.
- I am happier.
- My body feels lighter.
- I have surprised myself by doing some things which I never thought I could do.
- I sleep really well.
- I sleep early.
- And, I am getting up in the morning at right time!! And, without feeling groggy or anything.
- The best part is even now that I am down, I am finding that my periods time is going on a lot smoother.
- Another great thing is that my PMS was literally non-existent!! Yes, there were mood swings but not as intense as past few months.
- I am less stressed out and probably my productivity is better (not sure though)!
- I am more positive in outlook and I have a positive aura.
- Now, whether my skin is glowing or not, I don’t really know!!
- My blood circulation has definitely improved. I can feel more blood flowing in my head.
- I am feeling more hungry, enjoying the taste of food and I am a lot less negative in outlook.
- This is the first time I have ever joined such classes and that’s one thing which has made me happy!
- My head aches are a lot more in control now
- My body is so much lighter!! I can find more agility in my body as well
These are a few things right now I have noticed in myself which is making me very reluctant to not continue the next month but, honestly, there are financial considerations as well so I am kind of double-minded about it. I will probably try out something else!!

OMG!!!!
The changes are really are motivating..!!!
and i swear I have all the problems which you are not having now
i should start yoga then
What say ?
any suggestions Swatz ?
haha…why you sad?? i know it sounds like work but yes it really helps!! or, you can do any activity which you can continue everyday!! dancing or aerobics or anything like that!!
hey swati, i really think you shd continue, its just a suggestion. Seriously workout is really good for body. As far as financial matter is concerned,you are earnings
haha…yup i think i shd continue but lets see!! i don’t want to get bored of it either
I can imagine how you are feeling Swati. But I hve a request – can you give us a brief idea of the training you undergo in the yoga classes so that we can practice the same at home? I too feel tired all day ya! So pls help us too.
Type in the name of the asanas.. google will help us with the rest.
Btw I was thinking of enrolling.. how long have u enrolled? And I have heard the fees are exorbitant.. is that true?
sure Nivedita
I shall definitely do a post on it though how will I show the postures is bit of an issue 
I will try my best!!
haha…yup, the asana names would help but the prob is they don’t tell us the names…they just demonstrate and give instructions on how to do it so I will talk about the ones which they repeat time and again and probably I could write the instructions
i enrolled on 5th dec after taking two trial classes…yes, it is exorbitant definitely, for me atleast!! its like 3k for one month of classes and if you miss even one class, you can’t extend the end dates
Hmm it’s quite expensive for sure.. and I really dont understand why we Indians are charged soo much for something that’s a part of our lives.
U cud check Bharat Thakur’s website for images also.
yup but then that’s how they made it a business na
and, we are so lazy that we won’t do it at our houses!! I shall check his website 
I used to go to yoga class and luvd it there
But after I stopped I am more into HIIT.Not patient enuf to do yoga do it once or twice a week now to stretch and relax my muscles 
whats HIIT??? its not exaclty yoga…this one is a lot faster like power yoga kinds but they call it artistic :O but, we don’t really get time to think it boring
Thats High Interval Training I guess..
oh ok!!
Wow .. a lot of positive things in just 2 weeks .. so you should definitely continue! But if financial considerations do not allow that, please continue at home. I know without classes to attend, there is no motivation to do it on time and that too everyday. But given how positive it has been, I do believe you should motivate yourself to continue at home.
hmmm…that’s the whole crux of the matter na!! no motivation for doing at home
i am thinking of doing something else next month but not sure what…lets see!!
Well .. join dance classes
.. else download dance, yoga or other exercise videos and dance to those during the time that you normally go for yoga. Hopefully, that will help you stick to exercising during that specific time period.
hehe….already my routine is all hay wire again and I can feel that my body is getting back to that lazy mode
just coz I don’t have binding any more, I am getting late at office and everything is here and there!!!
i have been wanting to join artistic yoga by Bharat Thakur for so many months now! I used to watch his vids on you tube!
then you should definitely give it a try!! but, I don’t know if they have centres in all the cities right now.
awesome Swati.. so many positives i something to be really proud of..
true the fees is exorbitant…
i chkd with them last week only…
i completely accept wit all of ur points.. i went to art of living yoga classes for a week… 2 hrs a day..
in a week i could see drastic changes for good in the body.. self-motivation is the problem for me..
kudos gal… was eagerly looking fwd to this post..
yup, the changes are good but the fees
haha…motivations are always a prob 
I am actually worried what I will do after this gets over 
Being asthamatic..i have to stay clear of heavy exercises … even paranayam gives me breathing trouble
…
oh is it??? I didn’t know that pranayam is not suitable for asthma patients but then doing any exercises would be difficult for them na???
sounds nice Swati..but 3k a month is surely expensive..and I toh do need breaks in between :p
yeah, that’s what!! but, one break = discontinue in my vocab so its worked out well but I donno if I can be as diligent for all months
and, 3k is a huge deterrent!!
its there in pune but just not where i live..
yeah, i know its there in pune! someone in our class used to continue these classes in pune as well.
I know without classes to attend, there is no motivation to do it on time and that too everyday. But given how positive it has been, I do believe you should motivate yourself to continue at home.
lets see how motivated I am by these changes
hey Swati, this is cool pls do a post on what asanas they teach and how many reps etc, will replicate the same at home – 3k is expensive … akhila
sure will do, Akhila but need sometime
hmmm am jealous :)will also join after giving main exams..am interested in ashtanga yoga
whats ashtanga yoga??? sure do join
when r ur main xamz???
