Yoga

I have found a renewed love of Yoga thanks to the Yogatoday channel on Youtube. There are so many full length yoga classes for every level of practitioner, for every type of yoga, for every time frame.

I have been using their yoga practices plugged in through my TV so I can see and hear them easier and I am amazed at how my body feels afterward. I woke up this morning and was sore all over, but it made me realize I had done good for my body. The muscles between my ribs were sore from being fully stretched through breathing and spinal stretches, every single ab muscle was sore from engaging my core (this almost never happens even with the best ab workout). The knots that live in my shoulders and neck are softened a little each time I practice one of the most amazing poses I have ever learned that involves sitting on your knees and going up on one hand and passing the other arm under your body and laying on that shoulder. The stretch through the neck, back, and shoulders is amazing with this pose, I apologize I don't know what it is called.

If you have been afraid of yoga or don't want to pay for classes or got turned off by it, try it again. It can help with any workout regimen and anyone that has stress in their life can use Yoga. I don't practice the belief system of yoga, but I love what it does for your body. I actually recommend yoga to almost every massage client I encounter because I have seen such positive results in my own life.

Give it a try!
