My new years resolution was to try yoga, because everyone in the fitness world has been raving about it and every time I see someones cool yoga photo on instagram (like the one below from @NikeWomen) I get very jealous and want to try it. I heard that sweaty betty do in store classes, but the idea of not knowing anyone and not being familiar with the place, scared me. Then I discovered that my school do a class after school on a Tuesday, this made me very excited. When Tuesday 4:30 came I was a bit nervous but mainly excited! To be honest I didn't really know what to expect, as I had never done yoga. At the beginning it was all about relaxing and forgetting about all the hustle of the day I had had, which at first I was a bit awkward about, because you just sat on a mat with your eyes closed. Then I realised how much of a relief it is just to stop thinking about everything and that everyone else around me was doing the same thing, which made me feel more comfortable. We started going through all the basics and seemed to progress quickly, but before I knew it, it was the end of the session. My favourite pose so far is definitely the downward dog! Okay so I might not be a pro yogi yet, but I will definitely be returning every week and can't wait to progress into harder poses. Each week I look forward to my yoga session so much and afterwards I feel so relaxed. On the next day I feel so loose, which is lovely because with the amount of sport I do, I often feel constantly stiff. Hope you have all had a lovely week! Have you done yoga and if not I highly recommend it? G x Shop the Look...
