I love it! I like how yoga incorporates every aspect of your body and mind into the practice. Your body gets a full workout by getting twisted, lengthened and stretched and your mind gets exercised as well. I've been practicing power/vinyasa yoga for close to six years now and it's always a challenge for me. But the great thing is, I'm not competing with or against anyone. It's just me on the mat and I do the best I can. Yoga can completely humble me. And just when I feel as if I'm right at my edge and I can't do anymore, there's this inner strength inside me that tells me 'I can'. OK, time to hop off of my soap box now :) The type of yoga I practice is power/vinyasa yoga. I love it! I like how yoga incorporates every aspect of your body and mind into the practice.

I actually really want to start experimenting more with Yoga, not necessarily this one--I feel like I spend so much time with everything else that it'd be nice to devote a couple of days a week to it.

I have done ashtanga before on a home dvd... it was just when I was first getting into yoga. At first, it was intense for me. I was not very good at it. Than I realized yoga is all about the journey not being great at it at first. (being an competitive athlete this was difficult for me). Though I practice this type of yoga here and there. I really like Bikram yoga (hot yoga). That really kicks my butt, but I like it. I am still trying to figure out what type of yoga is for me. It is hard because I see the benefits in each one and have likes and dislikes for each one. Not sure how to pick on to really focus on? Love the pics!
