Fantastically Focused and Hipster Yoga

So, I've made it halfway through the first week of school! Things are going very well. It's a crazy week and I've got huge classes, but I am having a blast so far.

I was even able to get to yoga this week. I felt so focused and determined, even though I was incredibly exhausted. I've been getting into yoga more lately, and it's really helped me in a lot of different ways, particularly my flexibility, focus, strength, and posture! I also sleep better at night. But the best thing about yoga this week is I was able to do Tree Pose and Eagle Pose without losing balance at all! It was awesome.

I'm totally loving yoga.
But I think I found another style I'm interested in....

Something from their homepage that I think I might try to incorporate into my practice tonight:




I have a feeling it'll really help me get through the rest of the school year.

Everyday I tell myself I'm going to go to yoga after work and everyday I don't do it. You just convinced me of going tonight!! Thanks dear! I'm looking forward to feel great :-)

Glad your first week is going well! I can do the first yoga pose, but that second would end up with a face plant, I'm almost certain.

Oh good....I'm glad you do yoga (even if you skipped)....my knees are starting to get bad and someone told me I need to do yoga. I just can't hold a serious face as I do it.

Yoga and school all day? I am impressed, Meg!

Yay! Glad to see you wrote about your yoga experience. And congrats on getting into some new poses. Your last sentence is what hit home for me--yoga will DEFINITELY help you get through your days much easier. Keep me posted on how it's going!

I never want to go to yoga, because I know it will be 90 minutes of difficult poses, but it's always the best thing I can do.

Altough, Hipster yoga looks like it may be the way to go.

Hooray for school and yoga! :)

Yoga is so hot! I'm so jealous girl! I always wanted to try it, but never really got around to it.

The only position I ever mastered is downward dog ;-).

How in the world did you manage the Eagle pose??? My only yoga happens when I play the Wii Fit. And even then it's more for laughs than anything... Jealous of your flexibility! Perhaps I should take it up seriously!

I usually go to yoga class twice a week and I haven't been in a while... and I feel really stiff and horrible. I miss it!

Tree pose is my favorite! Sometimes I have trouble with balance poses. I found Leeann Carey has a free yoga video that breaks down tree pose and it’s really helpful. Thought your readers would like it: http://planetyoga.com/yoga-blogs/index.php/free-yoga-video-balance-in-tree-pose/
