Superbowl and Exhale H-A

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!

  2. I 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.

  3. I 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 :/
