It's A Wonderful Thing

I used to be one of those people that would laugh at the people doing yoga. I didn't need any of that hippie bullshit. Fuck flexibility! I wanted to eat meat, not sweat on some silly mat while somebody tells me how awesome my chakra would be if I just turned inside and opened my heart.

Then I actually started going to yoga classes. I have not yet completely bought into the whole meditation philosophy of everything yet, but I do realize all of those lunges, bends, and contortions has a noticeable effect on the way I feel. As much as I have been working out, yoga is the perfect compliment. Sometimes (and by sometimes, I mean all the time), my body hates me for it. But I think I am more relaxed, and of course the imagination runs wild with what I can do with the added flexibility.

Anyway, I wanted to give a little shout out the yoga teacher whose classes I have been attending the most. Her name is Hillary Rubin and if you are interested in trying some of the yoga yourself, Hillary has a blog and if there is ever a time you can't make it to the yoga studio but still like a helpful voice in your head you should subscribe to her podcast.
