Usually it's the only day i get to really sleep in.. and somehow, someone always manages to wake me up way before i would have gotten up!Today.. it was a phonecall at 8am from my grandmother back in SA!
The worst part.. when she heard i was still half asleep, she decided to not disturb me any further and told me i can go back to bed.. which ofcourse, was impossible.. as i'm one of those lucky people who can't sleep again once i'm awake..
So, besides that, the weather today is just amazing!Real Fall weather!After the few really cold days we've had, i am really enjoying this!Which is why, i decided to actually leave the house today and WALK to my gym for a Sunday afternoon yoga class!
I only recently got into yoga, before that i never really believed in it at all and thought that it was one of those lame things lazy people do so they can also tell their friends that they actually work out!But.. after quite a bit of research and some amazing instructors..i am now hooked!Yoga is actually a really good way of relaxing, which is definetly a very important thing in our stressfull lives these days..
I also have issues with breathing, and found that since i started yoga, i focus more on the importance of correct breathing , especially while working out..(i used to be one of those crazy people holding my breath while running on a treadmill!!)
Besides the two great benefits mentioned, there are still a ton of others, like improved flexibillity, lower blood pressure, lower heartrate, improved mood, strenght and confidence!
I'd say thats more than enough reason to atleast try a class or two!
Well, that's it from me on this lovely Sunday afternoon in November!
I'm off to be yoga-licious!
