youtube yoga

i have a new goal, thanks to miss jessica berry: to blog 2x/month. this shouldn't be that hard, except that it hasn't happened in...months. with her imminent departure to idaho (!!), i decided to do my best to meet this challenge (especially since my readers consist of my mom, JB, and TBG). we'll see how it goes!

my most recent obsession is with doing yoga on youtube. it's brilliant, if you think about it, because you don't have to leave your house, you can pause if you need to get a drink or send an email (might happen because although you are trying your hardest to focus only on your breathing during your yoga practice, your mind is still moving along at its not really breakneck but quite fast and jumbled speed, and so you all of a sudden might remember an email that you HAVE to send before your forget), and there is a variety of class lengths and difficulties online!

a few of my favorites:

these are HARD. I would not recommend them unless you are relatively familiar with yoga poses and have lots of energy for lots of chatturanga.

an easier/more calm one is this:

she does a great job of explaining the poses and not moving too quickly.

good luck and namaste?
