Over the years, I've created a running blog documenting my 0-26 mile marathon journey, as well as a hiking blog documenting my many hiking adventures in my current state of residence, Alaska. Well, now it's time for my new and next adventure...Yoga!
I've been dabbling in yoga for years, attending classes here and there, but I didn't fully commit until this past summer when I finally got a temporary pass at a nearby yoga studio. From then, my obsession intensified. I got an annual pass and completed two 30-day challenges within three months. On top of that, I buckled down and decided, what the heck, I should just get certified to teach yoga! I start classes next month and can't wait to learn more about yoga, as well as how to teach it.
Until then, I thought I should document my recent yoga epiphanies:
1. Yoga is awesome :)
2. Yoga is a great core and upper body work out
3. Yoga reduces stress and increases mindfulness
4. Yoga can take place of other more intense exercises (in my case, running)
5. Yoga can be relaxing and restorative
6. Yoga can be simple yet challenging...if that makes sense
7. Yoga can make you feel like you just had a massage (especially after Christa's class)
8. Yoga decreases my need for wine (seriously)
9. Yoga is beautiful
10. Yoga is a journey...for the body, mind and soul
That's all for now. Check back for updates.
