6.55am wake up, 8am yoga

You read right... on my first day off in aaaages, with no alarm clock set and the intention ready to have a great old sleep in, my eyes peeked open and my mind was wide awake at 6.55AM this morning. eep.

So I got out of bed, pottered a bit and went up to an 8am $5 yoga class with one of my favourite teachers of all, Amelia, at Samadhi Yoga in Newtown.

What a refreshing way to start my day off! With a month of solid 7-day a week work behind me, I was literally aching to get back on the mat and I'm on a high right now. The class was mixed level so was quite easy going, but I found it worked me hard! That is one of the things with all things fitness, I suppose, it takes some hard work and determination and committment to build up to a certain level, but it can so easily disappear.

But challenging is good - and now I'm going to snuggle up on the couch with some new yoga books I've got, and dream of some more classes : )

Bend & Flex!

Only 2 mins to write, but update I must!

In the first weekend of Feb I’m doing a weekend workshop with Simon Low from the UK. I did some training with him during my actual teacher training course, and this will be fantastic.

I am also going to go for some power vinyasa yoga classes on my first day off, and I’m considering doing a Sutras course (theory) at Yoga Sanga. It all comes down to money so perhaps that won’t happen as yet and I’ll save the money, putting it towards the A&P course at Yoga Synergy. We’ll see.

But in the meantime, I’m SO excited to go and do a bunch of yoga classes.

I’ve been sitting at a desk way too much this month and while going for a buggy ride around site the other day, I actually got out and started to do some forward bends and warrior poses. Am sure I looked a bit loopy but I felt SO good. Wasn’t aware of how tight I’d become in just a few weeks, but it just goes to show how much I love it.
