Today is Sunday and figuring out how to get to yoga around family activities is a bit challenging. I find a class at 12:30 which means we take 2 cars to church. I could tell Mel really wanted me to go to church with him, so I left right after. Turns out my clothes were… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 13 — Another Day On My Mat

21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 12 — Today Was Hard
I made it to yoga for an 8am class. I don’t like rushing into yoga but I realized at the last minute I could make this class. I like being 15 minutes early and having my time on my mat before the class starts. I feel excited to be there but it feels like not… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 12 — Today Was Hard
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 11 – Starting to Love the Yoga!
I am so excited to get to yoga today. It has required some child management craziness. I am entering the studio after having brought the boys with me to yoga. I have shown them the bench in the lobby, the bench outside and sent them to the dollar store down the way with $2.50 each… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 11 – Starting to Love the Yoga!
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 10 – My Shavasana Didn’t Go So Well
I get up early and make it to the 6:30am Silent Moksha class. I have avoided this silent class because I felt like I really needed the teacher’s voice helping me do better yoga. I realized yesterday that I know the poses well enough to get through this class. I also have a medical test… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 10 – My Shavasana Didn’t Go So Well
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 9 – I Am Starting to Get Tired
The teacher today is less rigorous in terms of correcting postures than the teacher yesterday. Some of the teachers are so rigorous and generous in their correction of poses throughout the class. If they correct even one pose, helping me to have better form, I notice how their words stay with me for days as… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 9 – I Am Starting to Get Tired
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 8
I get to the 6:30 am yoga class this morning. I turn in my card to check in and the teacher asks me how it’s going. I said pretty good but I feel like I lie around on my mat a lot. She asks if I have tried the Sweat, Stretch, Unwind class. “Yes, but… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 8
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 7 – Two Yoga Classes in One Day
Today I am going to do 2 yoga classes. I missed one and it is really bugging me that I am on day 7 and it is my 6th yoga class. I want the alignment of being on day 7 and being on class 7. I start with a 6:30am class. I am still feeling… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 7 – Two Yoga Classes in One Day
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 6
Today was the 6th day of my 21 days of yoga and my 5th class at Moksha Yoga. It was a class that was mostly done on the mat. I was super excited to get there and to lie on my mat and breathe. It just felt so good to get there after missing yesterday.… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 6
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 5
Today was the hardest day of yoga of all. I didn’t make it to class. Or “to my mat” as the yoga people say (I think they say this, I am still a total newbie!). There were two times I could have possibly made it to yoga. Neither worked. As each one passed, I felt… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 5
21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 4
I figured out a play-date for my kids and am feeling so excited about being able to do some yoga today before I drive to an event in Stratford for my daughter Sela’s school. I am excited about having an evening with her. She called yesterday and said she was free earlier and I could… Continue reading 21 Day Yoga Challenge: Day 4
