World Yoga Day, Late

Uncategorized

FacebookTweetPin
27 Feb

Did you know yesterday was World Yoga Day?

Apparently, it’s the day all the world’s inhabitants are supposed to do Downward Dog in their front yard at noon.

Unfortunately, I didn’t realize that until just now. Oh well.

Did you get down with your dog on your lawn? If so, please tell me you took a picture. And send it to me.

I really need to get back to going to yoga once a week. It’s been years since I’ve been that consistent, but my legs are constantly tight and unhappy. It’s affecting my runs, mood and sleep at this point!

So today I grabbed my mat and rushed out the door to make my favorite class. It was packed and I ended up on top of the music table. This was good and bad because I kept glancing at the time… My yoga studio only has 90 minute classes and I get bored after an hour. I think if I could find a good 1 hour class I’d go more.IMG_6928 (600x800)

I considered picking something up for lunch, but decided to save a few bucks and go home. Salad and yam.IMG_6930 (800x600)

But the insides are yellow not orange? The store had lighter on the outside sweet potatoes too, but I wanted orange and specifically got these ones.IMG_6933 (800x600)

Manager’s Special fruit. You know I love it.IMG_6935 (800x600)

The other reason I went to yoga is I have a new yoga outfit I needed to test out! New Balance sent me a yoga top and pair of yoga pants. At this point I’m convinced my hips have the entire universe in on trying to get me to yoga more often!IMG_6940 (800x600)

I love racer back tops! This was super comfortable and I didn’t have to fidget with my top or pants during all the twisty moves (read: me in child’s pose waving the white flag).IMG_6939 (800x600)

Speaking of New Balance… I’m going to be running the Reach the Beach Relay race in May with team Off Balance! New Balance is sponsoring us, hence the name Smileimage

It’s a 200 mile relay race with 11 other girls. Tina is the captain and is organizing the race so I know most of the girls, but not everyone. I’ve never done a relay before and I’ll be flying in from CA when everyone else is east coast. It’s going to be an experience!

Here are my teammates:

  1. Anne P of Fannetastic Food
  2. Sarah of Sarah Fit
  3. Patricia of Run Foodie Run
  4. Tina of Carrots ‘N Cake
  5. Ashley of A Healthy, Happier Bear
  6. Bridget of Yogurt and Berries
  7. Elizabeth of On Tap for Today
  8. Theodora of Losing Weight in the City
  9. Gretchen of Honey, I Shrunk the Gretchen!
  10. This B of Run Eat Repeat
  11. Ali of Food Fitness Fashion
  12. Melissa of Fitness NYC

Ahhhh! My body is so happy I went to yoga. Remind me of this feeling next week Smile See ya later!

THIS IS YOUR YEAR.

      Did not know that, maybe I’ll pull my mat out today… and hopefully more frequently 🙂

      I’m so excited for the relay! Yoga honestly helped me get rid of some of my nagging injuries. It is hard though to relax for me.

      So excited for Team Off Balance! Perhaps overcrowded yoga classes will be good prep for vanlife?

      You guys will be running maybe 2 miles from the house I grew up in – the last few legs run along the western edge of New Bedford – next to our little airport. Horseneck is a nice beach, too. Lots of sand dunes – looks like a typical East coast beach 🙂

        2 questions: Does your fam still live there? And if so, can I use their bathroom??
        (I don’t know how I’m going to last in a relay van!)

      I was doing child’s pose to try and stretch out my shoulder, does that count?
      Sounds like a fun race!

      Cute yoga outfit!
      I need to Fonda good studio, I’ve been feeling tight and achy as well, and know that I could be more comfortable with a weekly practice.

      I had a studio that I LOVED and they cut down to a much smaller and not so great space and I just don’t feel like it’s worth the cost so I stopped going. I need to at least convince myself to do yoga at home more often…

        Yeah, the room was awkwardly packed and some guy touched my foot twice. I wish I could make myself do it at home.

      I’m so jealous you’re doing RTB! That’s definitely on my list of “to do” races in my life! I LOVE relays, Hood to Coast was the best time of my life and I’m so sad my team got rejected this year. You’re going to have so much fun!

        I became obsessed with relays after watching Hood to Coast the movie. This might not be as epic as that race, but I’m excited!

      What was specifically good about yoga today? I went yesterday, and my practice was so sweet. I felt like I was just diving into my vinyasas. Don’t tell, but I’m skipping Restorative tonight for Group Power/Bodypump!! 🙂

      New Balance (cute outfit)… Off Balance (great teammates, I agree).

      Hope you had fun at yoga. I love to catch a class every once in a while. Keeps me feeling limber. And the quiet time is good for mind, too.
