Svaroopa Yoga

Yesterday afternoon I enrolled in my very first Svaroopa Yoga class. Wow! It is unlike other disciplines of yoga that I have experienced. It's difficult to explain but it is not difficult to do, is very relaxing and gave benefits that are lasting today! The opening of the lower spine and sacrum area was wonderful and since I've had issues there before, I found it felt great! At the end we were entirely relaxed, in a blissful state. Anybody could do Svaroopa - even an inflexible person like me felt so rejuvenated. No talent or experience is required. This class was low cost and there will be no more because this instructor is leaving :(. Bummer! I do know of another instructor in town who is supposed to be good, attends our church and is only a few dollars more expensive so I may need to give myself the gift of this once a week or so. The stress relief benefit is worth it!

I also went to spin class today. A good instructor but not as tough as I have become accustomed. Was with friends so that was motivating and fun to have that camaraderie. Then came home and tried the vegetarian Rueben sandwiches that I've been meaning to try for a couple of weeks now and it was pretty darned tasty! Tonight I'm going to see the movie Eat Pray Love so that should help encourage me in the quest to begin meditation. It is so hard to do but would be entirely beneficial to my health.
