captionWORDS LIZZA GEBILAGIN ADDITIONAL WORDS ALEXANDRA OKE PHOTOGRAPHY RODNEY MACUJA Lizza says… I WAS PRETTY confi dent going into this challenge, but I’m not ashamed to admit that Warrior Yoga battled my ego and won. There were two reasons for my cockiness:I have a love for Bikram yoga that teeters on the obsessive (I once did two classes in a row – hungover) and I’ve also run while lugging 10kg sandbags for boot camp.

And it had totally slipped my mind that warrior pose was already tough motion to it and my body was shaking from than usual.
