Here it begins...

I wanted to give a backgound on how I found yoga. I had my assumptions about yoga before ever giving it a chance. I thought, "Why would anyone do that?" "How boring!" and "Seriously, how could that help you lose weight?"

I am so glad my interest was sparked when my obsession with downloading apps on my iPhone brought me to a Yoga App. What did I have to lose? Nothing. What did I have to gain? So much! yogamuch!

That was in early June and since then my interest has grown into a passion! a joy! a new beginning in ways- I don't think anyone can understand what a draw yoga has until they give it a chance. You have to open your mind and body to new things- it is challenging and different for everyone. I haven't really looked into the religious side that yoga stems from- but I am immersing myself in the knowledge and the practice.

I downloaded an app called YogaPro- and with that I can search all sorts of poses, follow examples, plan my own sequences, and set timers to tell me when to swich poses. It is amazing! I did that for the first two months of getting into yoga. Then I started taking classes at The Yoga Center in Broadripple in Indianapolis at the beginning of this month. (August) Thus far I have been to 10 classes. (missing days only when I was out of town.)

How can I explain what I enjoy about yoga? After doing yoga for 10 minutes- 2 hours you get a feeling- a calm...yet an excitement. I call it the "yoga high." An intense feeling that can only be described by ones' own experience. In order to learn more about my yoga practice I am going to blog about yoga & poses. I hope to post daily updates with any information I learn. 

Enjoy! :)
