ABOUT

Allie. 23 year old grad student. Horseback rider. Always OTG. Looking for a happy medium to help me achieve my goals with my busy lifestyle. Recently fell in love with running. I ran in my first road race on 3/17/2012.

My overall goal at this point is to lead a healthy, fit and active lifestyle. College life really got me down for a while. I was eating out, skipping meals, over eating and using food as comfort. Food is fuel! I am now well on my way to switching my lifestyle in a positive and healthy way.

I’ve only started yoga 2 weeks ago and I really like it; compliments my running and pilates. Better to get the foundation right first! :)

Thanks for answering, it’s amazing how much cross-training can help us runners!

If you can find a good teacher, I think classes help your home practise :) being adjusted helps develop body awareness in how a pose feels

The studio I found has been open for almost 15 years, has a ton of classes and a ton of teachers. I am going to ask one of my friends who I know has gone to classes about it just to be sure. I might do one class first before committing to the 30 days.

no, i just practice yoga at home

I would love to practice at home too, but I do worry that I will be doing the poses wrong.

I’m always at my studio! When I started out, I had no consciousness of my body. But after the first month, it’s pretty much all good.

Awesome, what kind of yoga do you do?

niconme answered your question: Yoga Classes?

yoga is amazing! it’s so worth the money to go and learn the poses first hand b/c they personally adjust you and want you to understand poses

This is exactly why I am thinking of doing the $30 for 30 days for new students. I can attend as many classes as I want and really learn the poses. They have intro classes as well as level 1 which they say are also fine for beginners, though I would want to do the intro class first.

Thank you all for your lovely advice!

Yoga Classes?

After a lot of research I have found a beautiful studio in my town that offers $30 for 30 days of unlimited classes.

I might not stick with the classes after a month, but I think it would really help me learn the poses.

Thoughts? Do any of you attend yoga classes?

Just did my first yoga session in forever.

Only did a 5 minute warm up but it felt wonderful.

Going to do another round now!

lucky duck!

I am lucky that we have a pool.

It is not lucky that it’s mostly in the shade. 

But I hope to start swimming laps as soon as it is treated and cleaned!

you’re so small!

I am unsure if being small is good or bad, though I think most of the time it is a compliment. I can thank years of gymnastics and horseback riding for my legs, though the rest of my body isn’t as toned yet, baby steps.

I am a sucker for coffee, with sugar. One of my bad habits that I have had a hard time letting go.
