Get sweaty!

I almost forgot how much yoga makes me sweat!  Just did a half hour this evening and I'm dripping wet.  Whoever out there that thinks yoga is just stretching and meditating sure has never tried it.  Not sure why I did a couple of trees tonight...my balance isn't that great and I almost fell over-twice.  Much prefer the warrior poses.

Now to head upstairs for some deep breathing and relaxation...after I pull out my bag for this weekend's Expedition Everest trip.  That's right, still haven't started packing.  At least there's not too much to pack for this trip-"just" a 5K and only a 3-day weekend.

One more workday, then it's off to the Mouse House!

30-Day Yoga Challenge

I was reading through some blog posts today and Run with Jess had a link to the 30 Day Yoga Challenge at RunToTheFinish. Since I really like doing yoga-I feel so stretched and relaxed every time after I'm done-and I haven't been practicing in quite a while, I joined the challenge to get myself back into it. I know I'll be sweating it out at first getting back into doing the poses, but I know I feel great after just a 30-minute session every now and then so let's see how I feel after 30 days of that!

Since I'm a bigger girl, I got a DVD called Heavyweight Yoga (here's the Amazon link): I think it's pretty good for a beginner. The lady in the video is a lot bigger than me, but boy is she SO much more flexible than I am! So I'm going to go back to my DVD for now...I can also do the yoga poses on the Wii Fit. Just start from the beginning of the list of poses and work all the way through.

We'll see how it goes. Anyone else care to join in?
