One of my favorite yoga instructors left the yoga studio I go to a few months ago. I’ve always loved her Sunday morning class — she just has this gift for taking a “standard” vinyasa flow class, adding kickass music, throwing in some cardio type moves, and of course she always does an intense core section (ugh — you’re killing me here!). Basically her classes are the only yoga classes that my Fitbit registers as “Sport” and that I always reach my 250 hourly step goal! And her energy is just contagious — but in a good way!
She hosted a pop up yoga class today at her husband’s karate studio. Of course I signed up! Not only do I love her classes, but my husband and I just finished season two of “Cobra Kai”, so I was pretty excited to be in an actual dojo…
And what a class! There were plank jacks, tons of squats and her signature “jump switch from a runner’s lunge” move. It was fast, fun and I was completely sweaty just 10 minutes into the class. I’ve also been humming the music from her playlist for the past hour.
I’ll definitely be sore tomorrow, but that good kind of sore when you know you’ve moved your body, done the hard work and deserve to be sore.
And the dojo? I had no idea how padded the floors would be! It wasn’t the best for balance poses, but it was just so comfortable! Could I install that floor in my home??
