I’m in the real true love phase, and I’m positive it’s an everlasting one. I’m creeping up on my yogaversary (I think that’s a thing) and after looking back at my attendance at the studio (just for fun) I realized my love for this practice speaks loud in numbers as well as in the way I feel. Never, even in my wildest dreams would I have thought that, I would be someone who enjoyed any form of a workout. Hitting the gym? Running? Workout videos? It looked like a smart and really cool idea, but nah it just wasn’t for me (I tried, and it was always really just a short term lust). Yoga though and mostly the really hot, sweaty kind (that heat and all the sweat adds a whole other level to the addiction for me, it’s hard to explain but I swear it’s more awesome then it sounds). Since my clicking point, I’m in deep love lusty love with yoga and there is no turning back. It’s an everyday practice, if I can’t make the studio I pull out the mat at any tiny quiet moment at home (but nothing quite compares to a studio class with an amazing teacher). I thank my best friend Ashleigh (she’s sorta like my lucky star) every time I get on the mat, for introducing me to this practice to begin with and for being there when I want to talk about it.
Have you started a new workout regimen for the New Year (or just recently)? Or do you do something daily that you are head over heels in love with (maybe yoga)? I also started doing T25 one day a week, because I realized (after huffing and puffing up my buildings stairs) that I need some cardio in my life – so far T25 is fitting in nicely, 25 min workouts are the jam.

I started doing Barre in August of last year, and I absolutely adore it! I have never had a workout that I enjoyed so much or my body responded to in a positive way like barre. I love every last second of every class I go to. This is the place I go to in Edmonton but I think there are studios like it all over http://barrebodystudio.com/edmonton/
Awesome! I have been to a Barre class only a couple times, so SO hard…in a great way!
