I swear some people leave yoga looking fresh and rejuvenated. I leave looking like I got caught in a thunderstorm on the most humid day of the year. #yoga #poweryoga #heatedyoga (at The Yoga Shop West Hartford, CT)

I used to take a bus by the Golden Gate Bridge to work everyday, so the joy of seeing my old friend is immeasurable. Compound that with my post-yoga High from my morning @baptisteyogasf and I'm happy as a clam. It's Thursday. The sun is shining! Coffee is in my cup! Endorphins!! 💪🏽🌞😎 #workouthighs #endorphins #poweryoga #heatedyoga #classpasssanfrancisco #classpasschallenge #beflexible (at Baptiste Yoga San Francisco)

Evaluation: A month of Moksha

So my trial month of Moksha is about to come to an end. I've been going one or two times a week, and I wish I would have had time to go more to really give it a fair evaluation but the parking in that area is terrible. Which makes it impossible to go after work. I think I've gone enough though to have decided I'm not a fan. The lack of proper alignment kills me. Everyones super nice but a lot of the teachers aren't even that fit. Which might sound shallow and all but I just don't trust someone to coach me on how to take care of my body when they don't look like they know what's going on with their own.  If you're not a Yogi, I'm sure this is a good substitute for a workout. But as yoga this doesn't give me much. So for next month I'm switching over to a new Bikram studio that just opened up in Marina Del Rey. I'm really excited that we're finally getting a clean and modern Bikram studio on "my side" of town.  So as far as yoga go: Nah Parking: Hell to the no, unless you're a housewife (or house husband, or trustfund kid, or yeah you get what I'm going for here) that can go mid day Workout: It's decent, the flow classes can get intense, but a little shoulder heavy for my personal taste. The basic Moksha isn't that straining but the heat gives you a good sweat. The Moksha music is fun and the music is descent, today they played an acoustic cover of "Animal". Not bad for a yoga studio.

Hi y'all, My last 30 day experience went well, until my parents got here and I was more or less forced (oh well, you know, forcing meaning: put a nice bottle of wine infront of my face) me off the vagon. But I did 14 consecutive days of yoga, that counts for something. I'm only a little ashamed.  I recently started working in Hollywood. Yes yes, I know quelle terrible but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do. So, here we are, trying out the Hollywood studios one by one. So far the results has been less then good. But yesterday I stumbled over something called Moksha yoga.  It's also heated. But not the same type of heat as bikram. And the "original" form is pretty close to a bikram practice in regards to the fact that theres a series of set poses gone through in a static manner. But thats where the similarities end. I feel that this practice is a little "happy go lucky" fitness. The class I took yesterday last one hour, in heat and I wasn't even tired when I walked out. And the teacher didn't go through ANY alignment.  Today I tried a flowing Moksha class. This was at least straining but I didn't particularly care for the flows and ended up sitting some of them out. The teacher was good, and I saw him making corrections through out the class. So right now I'm unsure on how I feel about this Moksha thing. I think it's a good switchup for a fitness class. As far as yoga goes I'm unconvinced. they have a great deal though, 40 dollarz for one month of unlimited yoga (newcomer students). Can't really argue with 40 bucks. And it's close to work. Speaking of, jetting off to go home and eat cheese. Just because it's wednesday.
