For those who have never heard of the 30 Day Yoga Challenge it is a test to see if you can do 30 sessions of yoga (in our case, Bikram) in 30 days. The amount of dedication it takes is commendable with the busyness of our everyday lives. Even for the experienced yogi, the challenge can truly test you. Inspired by our friends at Bikram SLO, a few of the team here at Mika are joining together to conquer this challenge! The studio decided that this was a good time to set up the challenge and set the start for today. So we thought, "wouldn't it be awesome and motivating to have the participants share their experiences during the challenge?" That is why over the next few weeks we will be blogging about our experience with the 30 day challenge & are inviting those in the yoga community to share their personal experiences as well.

I am an elementary school teacher with a passion for helping others. I completed my first Ironman triathlon this past July. I finished the Vineman Full Triathlon in Sonoma County in a little under 14 hours. It wasn’t easy but it was an amazing experience. I felt lucky to be able to live it. It was my first year training for an endurance event. I come from a ballet background and more recently, pole fitness background. I fell in love with Triathlon and am back for more this year!

It has been said that Stand Up Paddle Boarding (or SUP) is the fastest growing sport across the world. Gliding across the water, enjoying nature, riding waves, it's all about enjoying nature. When the idea for paddle board yoga came up, it seemed to be a natural fit. Now it is hard to find a paddle board rental company that is not trying to offer SUP Yoga lessons or events.
Here at Mika we have some surfers on the team so it was only a matter of time before we wanted to do a SUP photoshoot. Being January and all here in California, it is not the preferred time for a water photo shoot (especially with the cold ocean water!) but we found a perfect sunny day and a great yogini.

What do you love best about teaching? I know what it feels like to learn a new trick and the inspiration it brings. I LOVE seeing a student learn something and see in their face that rush you get.
