This is the page where I show you some Yoga Love.
Yoga changed my life. As cliched as it sounds, it did, and I cant stop telling the world (sometimes I do shut up:) My first encounter was a Bikram yoga class a friend and old roommate from DC took me to in CA. We were late for the morning class, and hung out over coffee to attend the next one.
The class began and boy was I taken aback, I was dying in there! I was about to step out of the room, went on to take a few steps to the door when, the instructor called me out (I hate that!). She asked that I go back and lie down on my mat. I was so MAD and embarrassed! But I made it through. The class was done, and I felt a turnaround in my attitude, I met the instructor and thanked her for making me stay. And like most yogi’s she was oozing positivity and modesty.
That was it, I was hooked. I used up the introductory sessions, and signed on for the 3 month unlimited sessions as well. And I can say by far was the easiest 10 pounds I EVER lost. If you ever talk to me about yoga, prepare to be convinced to jump hoops to get to your nearest Bikram class (I am convincing like that
There are tons of different variations of Yoga, and some I’ve tried are
1. Bikram or Hot Yoga
2. Hatha, which is more gentle
3. Ashtanga, is done, not in a hot room, but is sweaty and cardio like.
Cash Crunch? No problem!
I have to mention here that there came a point when I couldn’t afford the Bikram classes. I was paying $110 a month for the unlimited sweat loving classes, but it got too much, and so I switched to yogadownload.com!
I started off with the free 20minute power yoga level 3 class, and really liked it. They recently had a halloween special (coupon code “halloween”) where all classes were half off – and guess what I bought nearly 6 classes! Affordable, re-usable/downloadable audio files & pose charts, and best of all, it keeps me excited to try new classes!
