But Doesn’t Yoga Work?

Hi everyone, sorry for dropping off the blog for so long! Due to the everyday pressures of life, I was not able to sustain the diet of 1800 calories in order to finish my 30-day challenge for the site. I have continued to do yoga, and my body feels great, but I don’t think that … Continue reading »

Day 41

I haven’t been able to do yoga in two days because of an insanely busy work schedule; and I miss it like crazy! I feel like there is a giant hole in my life, and the worst part is: I probably won’t have time until tomorrow at the earliest! I can’t go on like this … Continue reading »

Day 39

My sacrum moved in the night last night – twice. Two large adjustments that both surprised me and brought an odd sense of relief. I didn’t realize how kinked up my back was – I knew I had issues but I never thought it was so rigid and warped. After 39 days straight (minus a … Continue reading »

Day 11

Weight: 136.5 (oops – look what happens when I fall off the wagon for three days! How am I going to show the benefits of yoga if I gain weight?? I still have 19 days to go, and no PMS in sight. I can do it!) Calories: 2200 – still not meeting my goal. I … Continue reading »

Day 1 vs Day 10

Day 10

Weight: 134 Calories: I was really naughty. Recipe of the day: Creme Brulee. If you’re going to be bad, eat something good. Yoga practice: I tried to do some of the moves featured in the The Key Muscles of Yoga: Scientific Keys, Volume I. I like this book and its companion, Volume II, because of … Continue reading »

Day 9

Weight: 134 Calories: Uncounted; more than 2000 calories Recipe of the day: Mango Ginger Curried Soup Yoga practice: Much better today! I did 60 minutes and had a great savasana at the end.
