So, uhh, I think I’m gonna do a yoga challenge – 30 days of yoga in a row!!
I am a little scared to commit to this but we’ll just take it one day at a time and see how I feel.
I’m still riding high from finding such a great new-student deal for one month at Ishta Yoga. I’ve already been taking yoga class every other day, not at Ishta, but at other places around the city. And ever since I got the unlimited monthly membership three days ago, I’ve gone each day. So…why not give it a whirl! Seems like the perfect opportunity.
I’m loving it, by the way. I feel fantastic. But it’s only day three.
Now, I’m not going to go to a HARD class every day – some days I’ll just take a gentle flow or a restorative class. And some days I might do my yoga podcast in my living room instead. I downloaded some new ones so those will be options on days I don’t leave the house.
We’ll see what happens! I’m excited.
So far, by today, day three of my 30 days, I am noticeably feeling more relaxed and peaceful than usual and I’m also feeling stronger. I’m having fun too. It’s nice to have one scheduled activity every day. I have a few other scheduled things each week, but for the most part, my days are free to arrange as I chose. So it’s nice to put a little more structure into my life in this gentle way. Plus, I’m enjoying experiencing the different teachers, the different class styles. I honestly don’t have a bad thing to say about it.
Tomorrow I’m hoping to take a 4pm Gentle Flow class. Can’t wait!
I’m not sure if you just changed your headed, but I love it!
Your challenge sounds great.. the month unlimited sounds even better! I would love to find that in Atlanta.
yoga podcasts?? what yoga podcasts? that sound fantastic. please share!
Happy to share, Sarah. They’re at http://yogadownload.com and they’re pretty good. They have a variety of class styles and lengths to choose from and I think they even have some free downloads of 20 minute sessions, which are excellent for a quick morning stretch-out kinda thing. In fact, doing those free 20 minute sessions a few times a week was what led me into an eventual full yoga practice! Enjoy.
awesome! thanks so much! going to check it out now. i used to live in park slope and enjoyed the yoga classes at the Y there, but moved to austin and finally found a good yoga studio, but you’re right! it’s so expensive. I’m on a three-week trial at the studio, but tonight I couldn’t make class, so I’m going to try a podcast. thanks again! and I love reading about your adventures. you are definitely inspiring me!
AH! Awesome! I am so going with you to one of these classes this month. Awesome Jen. Can’t wait to hear about your experience.
