Triangle, Tip Toe, + Warrior

Sunday seems to have become my yoga day. I hate going to the gym on weekends because it's so crowded and there are so many kids running around. All morning I was trying different yoga poses and routines (some from netflix, some from youtube). I was able to do a headstand for 20 seconds with no wall support. I tried again later that day but flipped onto my back. Lol. I'm glad nobody was there to see that!

Yesterday Mu upper back/shoulders hurt so bad! I think it was from all the strength training I had to do to balance my body for the headstand. That or its from the one time I flipped over. :) So I was only able to do 35 minutes at the gym yesterday which is better than nothing! And, again, no 30DS was completed because a lot of the strength routines in it focus on shoulders and  back so just in case I did tweek something from flipping over I didn't want to hurt it more by pushing myself.

I think yoga will be really great if I can keep with it. I don't know much about it but all I hear are amazing things! A year or two years from now I'd love to be able to do certain yoga poses and look back at this and have a good laugh at my excitement to even get into position, though not elegantly.

I made a board on pinterest to inspire me to keep trying more yoga. The benefit in restorative yoga are immense but personally I'm more interested in yoga strength and balance. Power Yoga is probably the closest one I can identify. I found this little infographic that is pretty funny. I was surprised to hear a few weeks ago that there were 4 types of yoga... then to see this, I couldn't help but laugh at my ignorance. It'll be enlightening to learn all the types and see which one suits me most.
