"The secret lies in our own breath. Through breathing exercises, certain breathing techniques and some practice of meditation, we can rekindle positive vibrations within and around us."
~ Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of the Art of Living Foundation
"The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man."
~ Euripides
This morning I did a yoga class with Adriene. The focus of the session was abs and arms and it was suitably challenging.
I felt a satisfying burn in my abs within the first 10 minutes - and, to me, that's a successful class.
I felt a sense of accomplishment on completing this class. I felt relaxed yet invigorated, ready to take on my day. The day was quite busy and so I only managed to pen this post - 12 hours later.
It has been rather quiet on the blog for a while. I have been to gym this week but haven't tracked the workouts. I have been feeling a bit disenchanted with the gym lately and feel that my overall motivation has been waning.
I still make time for yoga though, and today's session was with Adriene. The class was focused on strengthening and lengthening. It was fabulous to feel a little burn in my muscles again. The class was a lovely combination of burning, shaking muscles and intense focus as well as relaxing and stretching the muscles.
I am pleased to have made time to find space on my mat.
Today I did this yoga class with Tim Senesi. It was an enjoyable class and has asanas of varying levels to cater for intermediate to advanced level yogis.
It is quite different to be guided in my practice by a male voice because I'm used to female voices leading my practice.
I'm always glad to have made the time to get onto my mat for a practice.
