Sugar Sugar (Honey Honey)

I've figured it out! Yoga is like a dance to some...perhaps something check off a list for others.

I just realized what yoga is for me...it's like sugar. Bear with me...
A lot of people use sugar (or salt in some cases) to intensify the flavor of something. It brings pep to something that was formerly "blah" or so-so. Well, I just got home from class and work; I had a nice little nap, but I was feeling tight all over. My first thought was to stretch, but I also wanted to hear something fun. So, I put on some Justin Timberlake, and then some Feist (my music is all over the place, yes) and got into my yoga groove (pun intended). I stretched, bopped, and sung to the music, elated. I love listening to music, and I like being active, so marrying the two seemed like a good idea.

In the middle of this mini yoga session, a fellow CL knocked on my door to tell me that she is going to start staff-wide yoga sessions set to her Insanity Yoga DVD. (Insanity Yoga?! Look at that...another challenge :) Once again, I love my staff (spending quality time with people in general really), so this is another beautiful marriage: staff time and stretchin'. I'm excited! I'll be sure to follow up with how it goes.

I am obviously a big fan of yoga, but I hope that if I wasn't so into it, I would find ways (like the aforementioned) to make it a more enjoyable experience. I hope this has inspired people from class (or the blogosphere, I guess) to shake up how you do what you do. Make it sweet :)
