So Saturday, March 7th, my fiance and I went for a nice run and then I actually convinced him to do yoga with me afterwards as a means to stretch (he's SO NOT flexible)...we did 30min of Yoga for Runners! It was great!! I think it was definitnely too advanced for him but he tried hard :) It was definintely a lot of work after a run. Playing catch up on my yoga posts!!

I'm having fun trying some of my different dvds, it keeps it interesting so I don't get bored. I haven’t been good about reporting my progress here, but I haven’t missed a day yet!

It was a great way to start my day. I was sore from the core vinyasa yoga on Friday so the initial stretches were pretty tight. I would have liked to have gone longer but I had to get going with my day. Day 8- I really spent most of the day being lazy. It wasn't a good day and when I thought I wouldn't get any yoga in I pulled myself off the couch and did 20 minutes of the Gentle Hatha again and felt so great I did about 10 minutes of the Detox Yoga. It was great to pull on my PJ's and get a 30 minute yoga session in regardless of how lazy I was feeling.

But I began with the power yoga 20 min flow- and was challenged in the first 5 minutes with an advanced upper body strength pose. I enjoyed it. Sunday I luxuriated in the 20 min morning flow- I will definitely purchase the longer one- such a good feeling from it. This morning I enjoyed the Heart Opening Flow 20 min. A great one if you spend your day hunched over the computer. Really loving this challenge. On Saturday I began the challenge, a little late.

I was unable to practice on Saturday as I did 3 Weight Watchers meetings, 2 performances and then struck the set and moved everything out of the theatre. It was a long day! Last night I got back into the groove with the 20 minute lunar flow. It's really become a favourite of mine and part of my bedtime routine. There's a yoga and pilates show happening in Toronto at the beginning of April and this challenge has inspired me to check it out!! I'm trying to see what classes will interest me and fit into my schedule. I’m really enjoying the yoga challenge!
