Yoga - Pt. 1

Alright! I've got my first yoga practice under my belt and the second one starts tonight! Thanks to my place of employment {love benefits!!} I have the opportunity to practice my 'practice'. And the fact that I just have to venture across campus to make this happen 90% insures I'll actually get a workout in.




I'm not quite buying into the light and ora stuff, but I'll replace that with the light of God! and that'll work just fine for me {Thanks to Dana for recommending that perspective}. :)


I was a little apprehensive to get started - I worried I was too far out of shape {these arms haven't been worked out in quite a while} to be able to hold those crazy poses and I'd fall on the poor people standing on either side of me. 


Praise the Lord that wasn't the case. I felt so good after the class, it really heightened my mood and energy level. I've been so tired and lethargic the past few weeks. I'd like to blame it on the heat {triple digits on the daily} but I'm sure it's just me being lazy with sloth-like tendencies waiting for fall to arrive. I mean - come on mother nature! I've got my fall wreath on my front door, can't you see I'm ready?!?!


So - today - I brave the world of Vinyasa - Level 2. I'm hoping it's just a baby step up from level 1. My muscles still feel pretty used from Tuesday's class. 


In other news - Kyle and I have locked down our engagement shoot photographer! None other than the incredibly talented Nick Mitzenmacher. Woo Hoo! Time to slim down for the e-shoot gown! 


Wish me luck ... for both.

New Year - New Workouts

Happy New Year Everyone!!

Motivation is running high with new year resolutions! I like to think I stay fairly consistent with eating healthy and working out throughout the year, but I feel a sense of dedication to those healthy lifestyle choices three times a year.... when the new year begins, when stagecoach roles around, and before my birthday. 

Since this is the beginning of the new year, Chrissy has began the brigade with the assistance of Jared, Katie, Mom, and myself to kick our booties {into shape}! So... we are working on our fitness! 

Here are some pictures from Coach Craddick's Plyo Workouts - Day 1







 Keep checking in to watch our progress ;) Please share any tips and favorite workouts so I can give them a try!
