Yoga 101

If you're a yogi you already know that: yoga is an amazing practice. If not, you may have heard about it, let me convince you for real. 

  1. Give it a try and don't be discouraged by your first classes. I tried yoga for the first time in 2013 at a LA Fitness location, and didn’t like it. It was too hard and at the same time too slow. At this time I didn't understand what yoga was. 

  2. Yoga is a beautiful combination of body and mental work. The postures make you strong and balanced physically and mentally. You also learn how to breathe correctly in coordination with your movements. At the end of every class I attend I feel so energized. I am never tired and I leave with a positive mind. 

  3. You can do it wherever you want. You just need your mat.

I had the chance to be introduced to yoga by two fantastic yoga teachers: Stéphanie Crochet and Kiyomi Takahashi.
