So today is lucky 13 in the interval yoga challenge, almost half way. Have to admit this week has been mentally and physically tough. I've only done 3 days out of the week so far. When I have those days when I feel I can't or don't want to do, I just don't. Listen to your body and mind, but get out of your head. My mind's been going none stop this week and I just need to slow down and tell it to shut up, and if I can reach that point the silence is oh so soothing. In the past when I had weeks like this one I used to reach for alcohol to calm my nerves and numb out. Just what I needed right, filling my body with toxicity, drowning my power and mentality to heal myself and just deal with sh*t. Proud to say I'm really close to celebrating 7 months of sobriety. Yoga and meditation has indeed helped me stay on the path of recovery

A moment of introspect after doing the Slow Gypsy Workout. Take time to pause & reflect.
Anybody else sore from yesterday's practice? If you don't use it you lose it, and now it's like starting all over to gain the strength and flexibility. My sleep was sounder though with dreams more on the peaceful side. Remember to go with the flow and not get frustrated over not having full range of motion, it comes in time. So here's today's video, don't forget to check into Instagram with your selfie after your workout with #intervalyoga30daychallenge.
Do you do your toes for your yoga pose?
Since us yogis are in poses that constantly have us looking down, why not dress them up. Mine are Sally Hansen Insta Dry 424 Set Sail painted for the 4th of July at the beach. I tend to slip on my mat especially in these hot days , so I was so excited to score these Nike Studio Wraps at Ross for $11.00.
How ever you dress them up or dress them down, take time to fully appreciate how your feet and legs support your body.
