Some Like It Hot

"Lock the knee, lock the knee, lock the knee!"

If you've ever heard this phrase before, then you've experienced Bikram Yoga: a sequence of 26 poses in a heated room, created by Bikram Choudhury from Hatha yoga. There are over 600 muscles in the human body, Bikram yoga works every single muscle, to maintain optimum health  and maximum function of the body.

Personal experience: As I walked into a carpeted room, I knew it was going to be hot; but not 105f degress/40% humidity. I laid out my mat and began "Savasana" (Dead Body pose), just thinking "How am I going to get through these next 90 minutes?!" I've been practicing Vinyasa yoga for a while now but nothing like this; my fear soon washed away with the sweat dripping from my body. Bikram has become my new addiction, I'm beginning to lose unnecessary weight, shaping my body and changing my life altogether, mind, body and soul. Now I walk into class excited about the next 90 minutes of "Me Time" - believing if I can do this, I can do anything.

What A Day

Good Evening Loves,

 Today was...interesting to say the least. For starters, it was my moms birthday, Race for the Cure Walk in DC and Trail riding with my grandpa. I skipped the walk this year to go trail riding, but the weatherman lied and it ended up pouring raining the second we got to the park... -__- But got to spend some quality grooming time with my boys (Trip & Golden Boy) then spent the rest of the evening with my mom... Thank God for her.

But let's finish tonight's post with some fashion!

Who else is obsessed with these Chanel beauties?!?:

Day 1

So, It's day 1 of my blog post, I've been wanting to have a place I could express what's going on in my head & all things I love & hate... hence the name "Whitney's World". It has been a long week and tomorrow I'm going trail riding (Yes, I ride horses). I'll end my first post with a picture of my beautiful horses...
Trip and Golden Boy



Goodnight, W
