Ah the constant struggle. The balance between exersize and your schedule. As you all know I have started the
21 days of Yoga Challenge and I would like to say that I have been really good about blocking out a set period of time per day to yoga... but I haven't. BUT I am proud to say that I have done some yoga everyday. Which is the point right?! To just need to get in the habit and fit it into my lifestyle.
I started doing the video sequences in the order that Yoga journal planned out on their website and man I was just not feeling the so called "
45 minute FUN flow". You call that fun? Maybe if you were super yoga
like to kill yourself person, which I am not. Sure I
love yoga but goodness that was intense! So with the intention of sticking to my 21 day plan
and not quitting on the first day, I decided that I would start out with something that was actually "fun" and I came across their
hip opener sequence video, for day 6, which turned out to be perfect! (I just love hip openers. They are my favorite : ) It was exactly what I needed and it lifted me out of my grumpy state (oh yeah I was super grumpy when I started day one...super grumpy is a few steps down from super yoga. lol). Since then I have just been picking and choosing whichever video I like on their website or doing my own routine. I am pretty sure that is the better way to go.
Here are a few other things I found:
~If you are brand spanking new to yoga: I highly recommend the
20 minute evening sequence that they have for week one, it is very simple and relaxing.
~If you want to try a meditation: the
life enhancing audio guide on week one was pretty rad. I suck at meditation but this was an effective technique for me.
Tonight I am trying the
20 minute core sequence and I am excited! Wish me luck!
Happy yogaing you guys (lets pretend that yogaing is a real word)
I wish you lived here so we could workout together! You would keep me motivated!
