Back at Yoga

A little over a week ago I went back to yoga after going only twice in the past 3 months. I signed up for "unlimited" monthly yoga, so I'm motivated to go as much as possible. I've already been there 7 times in the past 9 days. I did 6 classes of Level 1 and finally felt brave enough to go back to Level 2 tonight. It was an awesome class and I was able to get through the entire thing without feeling like I was dying! I was able to stand on my head unassisted (still against the wall, can't do it in the middle of the room yet), and "almost" did this other "can't-remember-the name pose" but it's really difficult where you put one leg over your shoulder and lift the other one too. I'm not bragging, I'm just really glad to be back there working on my physical strength and flexibility, but also on my mental health. When I was doing yoga 5 days a week three years ago leading up to my wedding; I was in awesome shape. I hope I can get back to that shape, lose 8 pounds, get toned, get strong and be zen. The only problem with today was that I came home and ate too much pasta for dinner! I'm guessing I'll get the toned muscles before I lose the stomach fat. haha.

This is the studio I go to, it is named Yoga for Life. Heidi, the owner, is wonderful as are all of the other teachers.

Oh and I want to add that one of my dreams is to go on a yoga vacation someday! That would be so awesome to do yoga every day on the beach at a gorgeous resort!
