Yea! I found my yoga blog. I've wanted to come back here so many times but I always let something else get in the way.
It's spring. It's time to check in with ourselves. Yes, I know we should be constantly checking in with ourselves and getting rid of "stuff" in our lives that isn't keeping us on the right path. We should be opening ourselves up for new experiences, letting go of those old habits that hold us back.
So what gets in the way?
Everything and nothing is usually my response. Work, family commitments, and other hobbies are the normal excuses.
I've been teaching more classes at Keller Pointe. The members are great and it is a wonderful place to teach. The room is significantly smaller than the group exercise room at LA Fitness so it's easier to feel connected to the group during a class.
I'm teaching a Pilates class and a "Fit & Fabulous" class to a group of VERY fit seniors and not-so-seniors.
I am taking time to continue on my path of fitness by participating in more long distance races and I have started to compete in the sprint distance triathlons. The sprint distance is usually about 300 meters of swimming, an approximately 12-mile bike ride and a 5K (3.1 mile) run. I finish in about 1.5 hours. The duration is similar to a half marathon but it takes me a little longer to run the 13.1 miles.
This spring take a moment to sit quietly and ask yourself if there is something you are hanging onto that you can just let go of and enjoy the freedom and peace that can bring to you.
Finally, don't forget your yoga. There is no rule that says you have to sit down for a long practice. Taking a few minutes to warm-up and focus on a few basic postures with focused breathing can work its magic.
Namaste.
