A Yoga Update

Remember when I said I was going to challenge myself to do yoga at least 6 days a week until graduation?

I'm actually sticking with it. And kind of proud of myself? In the last seven days, I have done yoga five of them. The only days I took off were Saturday and Sunday because I was at my mom's and really didn't have the time. I also have to say, I am really loving it! On Thursday I took a class at a local studio, loved it, and bought a month of classes. I forgot how much I prefer a class to a DVD, because I like having an instructor to correct me and make sure I am doing all the postures correctly. Plus the classes are longer and way more challenging than any DVD I have ever done. I really like this studio and the instructors,  so I'm trying to go as much as possible in the next month.

I'm discovering new muscles and even though it's only been a week, I can tell that I am improving, which is a very nice feeling. I find yoga very satisfying, more so than other exercise, maybe because it's a mind and body workout. And, unlike weight lifting or typical gym stuff, I actually feel motivated to do it because it's not repetitive. I mean, I still like that stuff, but I feel like I might start focusing more on yoga and cardio than weights in the future. Plus I don't want to get bulky, which sometimes can happen to me. I also want to look into dance classes, especially for when I move back to Marin. Right now I'm just feeling very motivated to become a more fit and healthy person and it's really exciting! Stay tuned!
