Yoga Day 1

As my NYSC membership ends and while I wait on some warmer weather before choosing a gym or what I will do next, I decided to do Yoga at home in preparation for Bikirm Yoga.

I brought "Yoga Practice" from the app store for my mac and figure this can/will help me (just $4.99 feels like a steal!) and embarked on a 28 day of Yoga challenge!

I had done a class before on Vinyasa Yoga, and never returned partially because I didn't have a clue on what I was doing and felt embarrassed that the teacher would stay by me and sort of babysat me while nicely telling me I sucked and she can tell this was my first class. But instantly Yoga gave me this feel good aura that I digged so I most def want to return.

Back to "Yoga Practice", it is ideal to start my 28 day challenge. I gave it a test run and it most def is really good however I am not so good (I tried it for like 10 mins and already found myself sweating and feeling like a fool). I am also not a wendy bendy type of girly so of course this will be a challenge.

Immediately my back started to feel relieved (I suffer from chronic back pains, I blame it on my girlies but never really got it checked) and right after my body felt some sort of relief.

But I am excited to be doing poses like the Happy Baby, Cat, Dog pose (this still makes me chuckle and the poses still make me feel like I am doing some type of fresh ish but I'll grow up jejejej)



I can't wait to start officially tomorrow with my makeshift mat (until I pick one up from Target)!

Will keep you guys updated on my progress!!!

  2. I just started Yoga too! It's a b!%#@h but I have to admit, it's very soothing. Try getting some yoga blocks and a strap . My balance sucks and I have no flexibilty but these really helped. =]
