Easter yoga

Outside of my friends and boyfriend, I don’t have any family in the city, so holidays like Easter is usually spent over homemade somethings that we slaved over, a movie and some good desserts (I look forward to white chocolate bunnies every year). Today was no different - except that I decided to finally go to yoga class… and what a treat!

I was the only person that attended class today and so I had the instructor to myself! She’s my favourite instructor (Davian @ Tula Hot Yoga), too, so it was secretly very awesome that I was her only student.

At first, I was scared. I’m in no way an expert, would she judge me?

She asked me what I wanted to focus my practice on today, and I chose backbends. As soon as I said it, I almost immediately regretted it. Backbends? I haven’t practiced yoga in weeks! Months? Maybe. And here I am, thinking I can just jump into backbends?

What I love about backbends is the challenge and the feeling of accomplishment when completed. I am in IT, so I am 75% of my day is hunched over a computer, and it is really taking a toll on my posture.

We went through the first part of class preparing for backbends - and we did some partner yoga - which I thought was uber fun. How amazing it is to have someone supporting you! We practiced some backbends against the wall, and that was unbelievably fun.

I can’t wait to start getting back into yoga. I really appreciate that extra care she put into our class today… and I’ll be seeing her more often!

After I got home, boyfriend & I shared a homemade pizza and now we’re off to watch a movie together… I couldn’t have asked for a better Sunday :)

Namaste!
