Julia's 30-Day Yoga Challenge

Day 12

So, I've been bad at blogging my yoga progress, sorry! I rode a bike to yoga yesterday, and couldn't get up a steep hill, so I dismounted and felt embarrassed! Though in hindsight, there's nothing I should be embarrassed about, since it was already enough of an accomplishment that I was biking to yoga at 8:30 on a Sunday morning...

Another big accomplishment: bought tickets to an all you can eat and drink pig roast.....

Anyway, many thanks to all my sponsors so far!

Laura, Berry, Whit, Nicolette, Leon and Sean! MUAH!

Day 8

My volleyball game got cancelled due to the rain (boo, hiss!) so I went for a run and then did some downward dogs and cobra poses to stretch. Working on boat pose...it's a rocky boat!

Yoga Challenge Day 6

YOGA CHALLENGE STARTS!

Please help me raise $100 for the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project and Home for Home, who are working to build foster homes in Cloetesville, South Africa for children who have been abused, neglected, or abandoned. This $100 will provide six Cloetesville children under the age of twelve with an alternative to living in poverty or alone— They will be supported with a loving home located in their community where they can receive the care they need to grow and thrive.

As part of the Yoga Challenge, I am pledging to do as much yoga as I humanly can for 30 days. You may be wondering where days 1-5 went. Well, I've been unable to update my blog because I only have IE at work and there are some issues, so....here I am, retro blogging my yoga status!

Day 1: Went to Stroga for a power yoga class and it kicked my butt!

Day 2: Still sore from yoga yesterday. Just a couple stretches here and there to help me recover.

Day 3: Quick sun salutations but gotta run! it's Friday!

Day 4: Yoga ab workout on Comcast On Demand (it's free!). It's much harder than it sounds.

Day 5: Wow, my stomach is sore from yesterday (not abs yet). Taking it easy today with a few downward dog stretches.

Day 6: Stroga again, this time a Power Yoga L2 class....totally in over my head, but it was so fun! Trying to twist into and out of pretzels. I feel humbled and worked out!
