Hiii! Did you watch the Superbowl last night? I caught the last half- I missed The Who, but saw that incredible running across the field thing The Saints did. Very nice. During the first half, I went to candle lit yoga with Nikhil. I've never done yoga before and was expecting it to be one of the hardest things I've ever encountered. When I would watch people do it, I automatically assumed that my body would not be able to bend that way. Turns out it can! I still can't balance to save my life, but the stretching and warrior moves I can do. Ooh and the half pigeon!! I liked that. For those of you who don't know- its a pose where you essentially put one of your legs bent underneath you body as you breathe and enlongate your spine. I am not sure if that makes sense or not but it feels so nice. When I left yoga I felt better than I have after running and other forms of exercise. I felt refreshed and stretched out. I've been saying for like a month now that all I need is someone to put me in a medieval torture device and stretch me out a little. Well, I guess I just needed a little candle lit yoga to put my body back to where it needed to be. I will definitely be doing that again. And, everyone who was there was so nice and in shape. That was inspiring. I think I may have found a form of exercise that works for me!
hi marisa! i miss youuu. i totally agree about yoga.. its SO much more enjoyable than running. i hate running. it is punishment. its all about dance and yoga :)
ReplyDeleteI luurve yoga! It is fun and challenging and I always feel good afterward. Not gonna lie tho, I also love running, which I agree is punishment. But that is why it I like it. There is nothing better than the satisfaction that comes from working really hard at something and proving to yourself that you can do it.
ReplyDeleteI miss both of you guys! Maybe I should look at running more like a challenge, and me the conquerer. We'll see if that helps :/
