Things I love...

YOGA!! Okay so I am one you see in the weight room or doing some crazy exercise with loud music...Not one that you see bending and stretching on a purple mat, in a quiet room with soothing music, alongside a group of others and being "in touch" with my inner feelings. I have a hard enough time expressing my inner feelings and being in touch with my inner thoughts already, why spend 45 minutes trying to do the same when I could totally be doing something else! However, it was just the challenge I needed! About 5 minutes into it, I was sweating up a storm and feeling more confident about my abilities. Sure, i had done a yoga class here and there or did my stretching after an intense workout, but this was great! The only issue, okay maybe not the only one, is that my hands were even sweating and made it hard to grip the mat... But they do make gloves for that! Awesome, huh? No excuses! At the very end, I have never felt so calm and in touch with my body- especially since going gluten-free and I seriously think I heard my mind and body tell eachother a huge thank you for taking care of eachother! Thanks to my sis and aunt for joining me and I look forward to the next chance I can get to do yoga! We all know it has benefits, but if you would like to read more: http://www.abc-of-yoga.com/beginnersguide/yogabenefits.asp
