Namaste

One of my Christmas gifts from BJ was a 15-week certificate to Sun and Moon Yoga. While it was totally unexpected, it was an awesome surprise! We always talk about yoga but never make the time to go. Now, I don’t have an excuse.

I’m in my 3rd week and absolutely love it. In my past (and when I’m home in Florida) I practice (I’m using that term very loosely) Bikram yoga but my current session is more about relaxation. It’s a nice change of pace from running and “forces” me to stretch and relax. It’s glorious - especially as an overly-tight-totally-not-flexible runner.

I would in no-way-whatsoever classify myself as a Yogini but I’m getting better every week. I especially love that each class is focused on different part of the body. Last session we focused on hamstrings and calves - talk about deliciousness for my body! I’ll report back as I progress and see results.

I know there are other runners out there who swear by yoga - has it improved your running? I can’t wait to see what 15+ weeks of yoga will do for my running, strength, and flexibility.

Until next time, Namaste.
