Yoga Yoga!

I am doing something new; I just started yoga again tonight at “Yoga Yoga!” I’m very excited since I always loved yoga and hadn’t been able to do it in years because of my back. I could have never done it without my prior 4 weeks of Pilates which prepared me for it. I see a huge improvement in my body this week compared to where I was when I was a month ago. I’ve gotten a lot stronger and gained a lot of confidence even just these past couple of weeks which allowed me to be ready to start yoga. It doesn’t mean that I’m replacing Pilates with yoga because they are completely different and each brings me something that I need. The best way to describe it is that Pilates builds and strengthen my core and yoga stretches my body and calms my inner-self. I alternate and do one or the other every day, still walking 30 minutes a day. I stopped swimming for a while so that I can give my body a rest on Sundays. I’ve grown so much and this is just the beginning of a new practice!
