Hello my friends! Kaitlyn here! And let's do some yoga!
Um, when did this become a fitness channel?
(INTRO MUSIC)
Okay! So we're not actually gonna be doing yoga on the channel today,
BUT I have been doing a lot of yoga recently and I wanted to talk about it's awesomeness!
So I've been a fan of yoga since college when I first tried it and found I loved it
because it combined two of things I valued and needed--flexibility and breathing exercises.
Now there's a whole lot more to yoga than flexibility and breathing exercises but that
is where I started for me.
But once out of college, I was pretty apprehensive about taking public classes because
First I didn't have any money because I hadn't found a job yet and then when I did
find a job, the classes were offered at really inconvenient times
and I'd have to travel at least 30 minutes to get to the closest studio...so it was just a bust.
BUT THEN!
In January of 2015, I stumbled across on the Internet Yoga with Adriene's 30 Day Yoga challenge.
Pretty self-explanatory: guided yoga videos on Youtube.
A new one uploaded everyday in January.
And I thought. What the heck? It's free. I can do it in my bedroom. Why not?
And so began my love affair with yoga and Adriene's presentation of it.
As of this past Tuesday, I've completed my 3rd 30 day Yoga "Challenge" with Adriene, and I'm feeling awesome.
Especially awesome because this is the first year that I actually did yoga every day.
In the past, I would skip a day here or there when I was feeling sore or sick or just too busy.
Essentially, it made a month long challenge take like 2 months. Ah!
But this time, I was like: What will happen if I just stick with it.
Even if that means doing yoga at 11 pm or when I'm super sore or just feeling awful.
And yes, it did make for days where I did not enjoy the yoga.
But it has absolutely made me stronger.
So here's what I love about Adriene's program and channel in general.
(And why I would recommend you check it out, do some yoga videos and maybe even try a 30 day challenge!)
First, it's an "exercise" program that'smore about being in tune with your body than "getting ripped."
Now that's not to say it's not challenging or unable to get you in shape because
I was sweating and shaking doing these videos!
It's because of the 2nd thing I love about this channel which is that Adriene emphasizes a mindfulness for
your body and your mind which is something that I unfortunately had not experienced in other yoga classes.
It's not about slamming into different poses and trying to fit the "mold"
but rather about seeing where your body's at and listening to it and seeing what it's telling you.
I didn't really listen to my body until watching her videos.
I would just get angry at myself for not being able to do what I thought my body should do.
I have really horrific memories of high school where I was tryingto learn choreography for show choir
and I would practice in my room and fail and so I would hit and smack, like violently my legs and my
arms and try to punish my body to kick it into gear because it wasn't doing what I wanted.
But that's not how that works. And that is not healthy.
Adriene's motto is "Find What Feels Good" which I thought was kind of corny at the very beginning
but, man! When you finally learn how to listen to your body,you realize how important that is and what it means.
I want exercising -- being physical -- to feel good!
And it absolutely can!
Third, I find such a sense of peace.
Adriene is very positive but in a realistic way.
"Everything is as it should be."
She not only has us focus on working the physical body but also the emotional, spiritual one.
She asks you to get kind of raw, kind of silly, kind of open.
Which I think works really well when you're doing it from the comfort and safety of your home.
And I've definitely left some of these workouts feeling completely zen or just with chills.
As someone with pretty overwhelming anxiety, this is a very rare and great occurrence for me.
Now, I know there are probably classes that have more of this mindset than I've previously experienced.
And now that I'm living in a new, bigger city, I need to go out there and find it!
But I love Adriene and her channel for the positivity, the light, the self-love that she's projecting into the world.
All of this is to say, you should go try some yoga. Whether you you want to lose weight
Or be more flexible. Or you suffer from anxiety like me!
You can try Adrienne's channel or one of the many other yoga channels that are out there on YouTube.
Or you could even try a real, live, in-person class! I don't care how you do it!
But I know that it was beneficial for me so I think it might be beneficial for you too.
So what do you guys think?
Do love yoga or watch Adriene?
Do you think yoga's only for girls.... (cuz it's not!)
Tell me all your yoga-related thoughts down in the comments!
Plus remember to like, favorite, share, and subscribe if this video made you smile!
See you guys on Tuesday!
