Twelve Days of Yoga

With the last twelve days of yoga completed, for a total of 20 days in a row, I invite you to get into that downward Rudolph spirit and sing along with me!

YogaDay8: My Former Record

My last consecutive yoga run went for eight days. Since my goal this time is 20, I have twelve days left. Right near Christmas, there will be twelve more days of yoga. I feel a classic holiday tune, redone with a yoga twist, coming your way!

YogaDay7: Yoga Dictionary

Funny that I wrote about ego and its role in yoga in yesterday's post.

YogaDay6: Yoga Evolution

As with most things, yoga has evolved. I won't pretend to know the timeline of it's journey from ancient India to downtown Austin, Texas but I've recently learned a few things about its origins.

YogaDay5: Get Rhythm

I have that Johnny Cash song stuck in my head because of our visit to the Mean-Eyed Cat Bar last night. And it happens to apply to today's yoga. (Get rhythm-- not a mean-eyed cat)

YogaDay4: My Hips Don't Lie

Neither do my quads, shoulders or feet. In my table of yoga comparisons to other workouts, I mentioned that in yoga your body thanks you, while in other workouts your body screams. Today my body was screaming thank you.

YogaDay3: Kicked My Patooty

Don't know if it was the extra glass of wine at The Continental Club or the rain or the pistachios I ate before class. But twentysomething Carley and her plank-loving instruction kinda hurt today.

YogaDay2

Whoa. Totally different class. The owner of the studio, Dean, led us this time. There were about 13 people and a contagious positivity.

Yoga Day One

Every yoga day is different. Your body carries various levels of sleep, water, circulation, balance, oxygen, stamina, you name it.

A History of Yoga Rhea

My first yoga class was in college.
