Day 30 - Challenge Complete

Namaste!

Day 30 is done!

I have never run a marathon but I am imagine this is what the aftermath feels like. I am so happy!! I can't believe I made it through 60 tree postures, 60 bow pulling postures, 60 tortoise postures and more. 30 days of Bikram in a row. Done.

Thank you so much for all of the support. I could not have done it without everyones encouragement!

Thank you Waldo and Henry for enduring the 5.30am wake ups as I clattered around.

Thank you Charlotte Hadlow, Charlotte Reynolds, Waldo and Vanessa who all attended classes throughout the challenge.

Thank you lulu lemon for providing all my yoga gear!

Thank you EastWest Bikram for donating all of my classes and all of the money raised from the Friday night classes!!

I will keep you posted on the final amount raised, I am currently in the tallying process.

The Challenge

I have decided to undertake the 30 day Bikram Yoga Challenge to raise money for The Hunger Project New Zealand. My goal is to raise $5000 for key education, health care and microfinancing initiatives in Africa, South Asia and Latin America.

I am advocating for an end to hunger through sustainable, grass-roots, women centered strategies. I believe greatly in The Hunger Project New Zealand, I have seen what they have been able to achieve over the past 30 years and I feel they are an organization with integrity and real commitment.

It is going to be tough. Most days I will have to wake up at 5.30am to complete the 26 postures in the 90 minute class before work! I will completing the challenge from 16 May - 14 June 2012. Eeeeek!

All of my classes have been generously donated by the EastWest Bikram Yoga Studio in Auckland!
