Why Yoga is Sooo Great

I did 2 yoga classes today, the first a P&C yoga class with my brother and my cousin followed by a regular yoga class. I always leave yoga feeling so great and energised.

Last night a friend asked me why I thought yoga was so great and to make them understand why I am always going on about how fantastic it is. One of the reasons for this is that it's such an ancient practice with a lot of history. My main reason is because you feel interconnected physically, mentally and sprititually. It's one hell of an experience.

You have to ensure that your mind, body, soul and breath are ones. Your breath and energies circulating through your body. You feel at one with your whole being, you also feel connected to every other person in the room, with the world and the universe.

And of course from the physical perspective, you are ensuring well being of your body, stretching out your muscles and ensuring that your posture and positioning and correct.

It's amazing, one of my favourite things at the moment and I would definititely recommend it.

Post Christmas

Christmas was not good for the weight loss, back on the wagon now though. Need to shift the rest of the weight this year, that is the goal :)

Today's classes were really hard. I struggled in yoga and body pump. My trainer wants me to do more of my own training in the gym and not just go to classes which is fair enough. She also wants me to choose yoga and body balance type classes over the traditional ones I do to improve flexibility.
