Journeys in Yoga

I've said it before. Yoga is one piece of my emotional puzzle that keeps all this in check.
Last week I did not practice and going to bed on Tuesday night I could literally feel it in my body... almost like a firing of energy through every limb that was just looking for a pathway to escape. 

Dramatic.
I know.

I finally made it to class last night and could feel the difference almost immediately.
Feeling calm, released and inspired today.

After Work... Workout!

Last night I had an at home workout combined with 12 sets of the Cambie Bridge stairs in the rain.
It was a good combination of lonley plyometric work and the freedom of running outside...

I started with 4 Rounds of the below and then headed out for about 10 minutes of running to the Cambie Bridge, 12 sets of stairs and a run home... it was great and fun to mix it up!

Enjoy!


45 Seconds of each x 4 Rounds!
1- High Knees

2- Squat Jumps (Squatting as low to the floor as possible and you don't have to put your hands behind your head as pictured)

3- Split Jumps 

4- Tricep Pushups (keeping the elbows in close to the body as your lower and push up) 

5- Burpees

Anybody out there??

Blogging is weird... I mean I have no idea if anyone besides my immediate family and couple of close friends even read this thing... so you know, I would apologize for my complete absence on here, but does anyone even hear it?
If a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?
#thingsjustgotprofound.

In any case: a workout from May 15th.... I actually had this post written and forgot to publish it. Rookie mistake.

So I am deciding to just pick up where we left off.

Enjoy.
