Yoga and test rewards!

Celebrating a great day today! 

First, finally able to consistently do a headstand in yoga! (I know this picture looks like I am holding myself up against the wall, but I promise I'm not. I'm not as tall as the door!) This process was not easy though, I have a pretty sad looking knee, with a bruise on top of a bruise...

I got an A on my biopsych test and I got an A+ on my Greek and Roman Tragedy test, one that I was super nervous for because I am most comfortable in the cold-hard-facts world of biology and the sciences. Whew! To celebrate, I made a trip to Lululemon, only my favorite yoga clothing store ever! Although everything is pretty much out of my price range, I went straight back to the sale rack and, lo and behold, a very cute top in my size, for cheap!

Yoga

Registered for a free week at the new gym by my house and have been taking daily yoga classes as part of this. Went to hot vinyasa today and wow am I feeling it! Every single muscle in my body protests with every single movement I make, especially my shoulders. So many downward-facing dogs!

Once my week is over, I will have to come up with my own yoga routines to keep up with my strength and flexibility. I have used the YOGA Free and Yoga Stretch apps for a while and like that you can create your own routines. Also, yogatoday.com offers a free class each week online.

Sometimes all it takes is good music to get me in the mood for yoga. Yogitunes.com and Omstream.com help with this, and offer free online streaming and free downloads. Also, I have found that yoga goes well with Cirque du Soleil music accompanying it. For example, the Cirque du Soleil Pandora station.

Now back to guzzling down huge amounts of water in the hopes of waking up less sore!
