The yoga mat is my friend

April 10, 2010 in Miscellany

Isn’t this lovely? It’s the Dragonfly Hydrangea yoga mat from Gaiam. I want!

Gaiam mats usually range from 2,000 to 3,000 pesos, so I’ll consider investing in this beauty once I get more serious with my yoga practice.

Since I’ve been working on getting fit, I am becoming more convinced that yoga is the way to do it. I mentioned in my previous post that I bought a Self Fitness DVD. I tried it this morning but I wasn’t too keen on using weights and exercise balls. It does have a pilates and yoga segment so I’ll have to try it a second time to see if it grows on me.

I tried doing MTV Power Yoga but it was not very newbie friendly. It’s too fast – paced and advanced so I may have to save it for later.

I found myself going back to my Yoga Flex workout. It’s actually my favorite among the three. I’ve memorized the poses already because the pacing and instruction are great. It’s only 20 minutes which makes it an easy workout to do and it’s very relaxing too.

I used to do boxing but for some reason I don’t feel like doing rigorous workouts anymore. I’m more inclined to workouts that are kinder and gentler to my body. So even with all it’s high tech treadmills and sophisticated exercise equipment, I still can’t bring myself to consistently go to the gym. I’d still go back to my yoga mat.

So I’ve checked off yoga workout on my to – do list today. I’ve scribbled it again on my to do list for tomorrow. I’ll take this one day at a time.
