Practice Safe Yoga

Life is utter chaos. It is hard, it is scary, and it is unpredictable. Simple as that. Don't you always find yourself wishing you had just a few minutes of quiet time for some personal reflection, or even just a second to catch your breath? Your mind is buzzing with all the tasks on your daily agenda, the kitchen needs to be cleaned, the kids need to be couriered to their practices and games. Doesn't seem like the hustle and bustle ever ends. 

This summer I made the most fantastic decision to try out a Hot Yoga class. One turned in to two, two turned to three, and now I'm in my fourth week of spiritual and physical indulgement. 

Not only does a 75 minute class make me sweat from every pore on my body, I feel uplifted, energized, and full of positive light the second I roll up my mat after a class. 

If you're skeptical about your prior flexibility, or lack of 'athleticism', I promise you this is not any type of combat sport or gymnastics event. Instructors are taught to guide students in their own pace of personal practice. You are not pushed past your limits unless you feel capable of bringing yourself there. The yoga practice is not boot camp, but rather a training session for all aspects of your being. How can you go wrong with that?

Still not convinced? Check out some great yoga journals and online videos. In no time you'll be out purchasing your colorful new mat, and antsy to get your daily sweat on doing a workout that you love!

Commit yourself. Find peace in your chaos.

Namaste, friends. xo
