Yoga, Yoga, Yoga!

I did something I've never done before…..I did yoga on the beach! What is beach yoga? It's nothing more than taking a yoga class on the beach. Bring your towel (and it better be a BIG towel) and your swimsuit, because you can jump in the Gulf when you're done, which I did!

Now, if you've been following my posts, you know I'm not a big fan of yoga. But, I also know there's something to it that really helps out your body. What exactly that is I have no idea, but it does something good.

Anyway, I usually do what is sometimes referred to as "Power Yoga", which is what the P90X workout program has within it's clutches, but this beach yoga was more of a soothing type of "ahhhhhhh" kind of yoga.

I must say, I would MUCH rather do the power yoga stuff. Oh, I love the beach, but there's something about getting a bunch of sand all over your sweaty body that just doesn't work for me. Now, the cool part was doing this workout in the morning sun, with a slight breeze and listening to the gentle waves hit the shore. That was too cool!

In my area, this beach yoga class happens several times a week, all in the morning. I'm not sure if I'll go back in the near future. but I'm sure I'll do it again eventually. There's something about jumping in the water after a workout that is just ubber appealing to me!

So yes, as much as I'm not a fan of yoga, I still do it. Let that be a lesson for ya.
