And getting stronger. The yoga lady on youtube that I like actually has bunches more videos and honestly, I’ve learned so much more from her than I did for the fancy yoga classes I took & the pretty boutique studio down the road from my house in Seattle. No offense to them, but this woman really explains each of the poses so well.
She has a bunch for working on upper body strength which for the most part are honestly a little advanced for me at this point but I plan on working up to it. Not that I want scary Madonna arms, but Michelle Obama will do. :)
Anyway, I realized today that I am really making huge strides since I started this goal, I can do a little of things that I couldn’t a few weeks ago and I like being able to benchmark my progress in metrics other than “weight lost this week.” I like being able to feel muscles in my arms or realize that my heels are completely touching the ground during down dog. Pretty neat! I’m a little obsessed actually!
edit Believe or not, I went in and researched the yoga teacher I like and she’s FROM Seattle! Wouldn’t it be funny if she taught at the yoga studio I used to go to? Well, if you’re wealthy enough and in the Seattle area she’s got classes. For the rest of us is the frugality of the internet. Yay :D
