Yoga salutation

Lately (since sept 2011) I've been practicing yoga at YogaWorks and a couple of other Yoga Studios. I previously practiced at Spectrum Gym or just at home. I first started practicing yoga in college like so many others. At Humboldt state it was difficult to get into on of the yoga classes. one of my favorite parts was the chimes the instructor used after savasana (final resting pose aka corpse pose). Over the years I have collected a small library of DVD's Sara Ivanhoe being my favorite and my newest DVD is by Kathryn Budig. Now living in LA I am in the heart of the yoga world (as I have heard from many yoga teachers). I am able to take classes from the teachers I have DVD's from :) very exciting. I have been working with a yoga teacher Gigi Yogini she incorporates more than just yoga poses, she introduced me to pranayama (breath work), she also uses drum and dance in her classes to go beyond just yoga and invigorate you and empower you. Today feeling like a homebody I practiced at home using the Kathryn Budig DVD Aim True. I completed the 25 minute workout and then freestyled on my own for what seemed like 30 minutes. I practiced sun salutation, head stand, and wheel. 

First Blog

Well this is my first blogging experience. yes I'm a little behind the times, but better later then not at all. I will try to keep this up to date in order to keep my family and friends up to date with our life. I must admit that I'm really bad at keeping in touch so this is my solution to reach out to all those far and near. I hope you enjoy!
