Yoga? I Still Don’t Get It!
So tonight I did the Yoga that comes with the P90X workout program (which I LOVE btw!)
I bring this up because, and I've said this before…..I DON'T GET YOGA!
I'm told it's supposed to be soothing, it's supposed to clear the mind, it's supposed to make you feel relaxed. Well, I must be the odd ball (no fair making jokes!) with this yoga stuff because I don't feel any of that stuff.
I don't feel soothed, my mind doesn't clear because I'm constantly thinking about how to do the poses, and as far as the relaxed part goes…..PAAALLLEEZE!……NOT!
Now, in all fairness, I've been told the P90X Yoga workout is more of a power yoga workout (I guess that means it's advanced). Since I didn't know the difference between a regular yoga workout and a power yoga workout, I decided to try a couple of other yoga workouts.
Guess what, WAY too slow for me. I like the power yoga workout better, but I don't get what yoga does for you.
I'll admit, yoga does something because I've never sweated so much during a workout as I do with yoga. So, that right there tells me there's something to this yoga thingy. And, also, because Coach Red tells me it's good, I believe AND trust her, so that's why I do it.
Now, be prepared for BIG announcement coming in the next couple of days! This will be HUGE!

In our society we move very fast, constantly multitasking. That life style is very stressfull. We pay no attention to our bodies unless they hurt. Yoga slows you down. When we slow down we could actually get into the present moment, perhaps. Yoga strengthens core muscles we need for back health, core strength, balance and more. As we age, it will keep us limber, strong and help prevent fall. Not to mention, you could find yourself in a meditative state. So enjoy. Blessings, Mary Pat
