Yoga

Today I had my very first experience with yoga and let me tell you, it was amazing.

But first, let me back track...

I have a good friend who is a yoga teacher who I work with.  She is always telling me about yoga and how it changed her life.  So, at the beginning of 2014 I wanted to get a yoga membership but for whatever reason it just never happened.  Since then she has invited me to quite a few free yoga classes and it wasn't until today that I took her up on it.  I am so glad I did.

Traditional work outs have always been really hit or miss for me.  When I try running, I can't breathe.  When I try to do weights, I don't know what I'm doing or if I am doing it properly.  Not to mention I have always had joint problems that cause me a lot of pain.

But, yoga is none of those things.  I left class feeling relaxed and energized all at the same time.  Yoga is all about breath so I never felt like I couldn't breathe.  I got to stretch out my hips and focus on the tight spots in my body.  It was the most challenging and yet rewarding work out I have ever experienced!

I cannot wait to go back!
