Exercise TV: Yoga Fitness Plus
Yesterday, I took a day off to spend the day with my husband, see a movie and attend a concert! But earlier in the day I took my dog for a 2 mile walk, so we both got some exercise 
This afternoon, I sort of felt like taking a nap but instead, I decided to wake myself up with a invigorating yoga routine! I looked up the Exercise TV programs on my cable box and found Yoga Fitness Plus with Elise Gulan.
The program was really challenging, including a lot of strength and ab moves and a lot of advanced poses that I am not quite ready for. But the instructor would indicate what someone at a lower level can do.
Usually, I would get annoyed with a really vigorous yoga program and just turn it off but instead of getting frustrated, I just went down into child’s pose or stayed in downward facing dog when I felt like I needed a rest or couldn’t do what the instructor was demonstrating. This was the first time I had ever done that!
One thing I did not like about this program was that there was no relaxation at the end. After an intense workout, that is my favorite part! But it is definitely a good one to do if you are looking to work up a sweat and get your muscles on fire.
It felt really good to be doing yoga again after quite the (unintentional?) hiatus. I look forward to trying more programs and hopefully getting back into classes again soon!
Do you prefer yoga classes (or videos) or do you like to do your own flow?

I mix it up, sometimes I do already planned routines or videos, but most of the time I just do my own thing. I also go to class as often as I can fir the group energy.
I hope you can come back to class soon. I teach yin every Tuesday, and I’m subbing vinyasa on May 12. Plus, I teach the Sarurday class May 22 before the veg club mtg and book club. If you can come to that class we could run out for a quick lunch before the meeting!
I like doing yoga stretches a lot after my runs. It helps stretch my legs out and keep the blood flowing.
