This isn’t the usual outfit post. This is more of a self confession that I have not worked out in about ten months which for me is a long time.
For once I’d like to stop procrastinating that walking around is enough and actually start doing something.

In the park yesterday I was thinking about how I started doing yoga (and barre pilates) last year, and loved it and then stopped. I can only imagine how flexible I’d be right now had I kept it up.
Everyone I speak to that does yoga though raves about it to the point that’s made me think ok no more talking because I’m as stiff as an ironing board.
This Saturday morning at 9.30am there is a huge Summer Solstice free power yoga class in Times Square and Michael and me are going. I’ve never done it before but no more excuses. Anyone can start doing yoga, so I should really start as well. I can even push myself further if i wanted to and become a yoga teacher. Anyone can do it you just have to use something like this yoga teacher training goa, where you can learn from Indian yoga masters on how to deepen your yoga practice. However, you could always just attend local classes if you would prefer and pick it up as a hobbie and a way of relaxing instead of considering it as a career. Find out what suites you best and what you feel most comfortable doing.
Later from 4.00-6.00pm at the Athleta flatiron shop, there’s free Exhale Spa massages and dry skin brushing treatments and yes I’m bloody well going to do all of that too.
On Saturday you can follow me on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram where I’ll show you what it’s all like. To be honest I’ve always wondered.
Do any of you do yoga? Which type do you like? I need to make a commitment.

Try Bikram yoga. It’s hot and tough but you will see results fast…in your muscle tone, flexibility and just overall well-being. I haaaaated exercise until I gave bikram yoga a try.

Karen,
I have been practicing yoga off and on for about 15 years. I will admit, it has been far too long that I have had a regular practice, yet I enjoy practicing Vinyasa flow yoga. Which is a derived from Hatha yoga. I went through a 6 month intensive Yoga teacher Training and will tell you it was the best thing I ever did in my life! I advise you to check out Jivamukti Yoga, at http://jivamuktiyoga.com/centers/jivamukti-yoga-school-nyc I have personally had the pleasure of taking a workshop form Sharon Gannon and I can’t begin to tell you how much it changed my life! The center I obtained my certification from, the owners are really good friends of Sharon Gannon and David Life the founder s of Jivamukti Yoga!
You will LOVE it!!!!
Thanks for always being you and Om Shanti!
Warmly,
Simone
