Namaste, Y'all

My mom had been telling me for quite some time that a "surprise" package was coming my way and hinting that it had something to do with yoga. I was anxiously awaiting it's arrival and it was finally delivered today! I had a feeling it was going to be a monogrammed mat but she went two steps further and included a monogrammed towel and makeup bag! I absolutely LOVE them!! (If you haven't already guessed, I have a weakness for monograms.) 

A couple of weeks ago, one of my friends took me to Wanderlust, a yoga studio across the street from my apartment. My first (and what I assumed would be my last) experience with yoga was about two years ago when my rowing coach thought P90X yoga would be a great substitute from our typical winter erging practices. (Oh yeah, did I mention this took place at six in the morning?!) I left that practice characterizing yoga as "slow pain". Anyways, I decided to give yoga another chance (little did I know that my friend was bringing me to a hot yoga class..). I was dripping with sweat within the first fifteen minutes and I kid you not when I say that my yoga mat became my personal slip n' slide. (Also, I have no upper arm strength whatsoever so my arms were also on fire!) Even though it was tough, I left the class feeling like I got a great workout in but I was incredibly sore the next day (and the day after that), signs that I was doing something right!
Now that I have these cute yoga accessories it looks like I'm going to have to go back and give yoga a third chance. (Although I think I should start with a beginners class!) 

Loving the navy and turquoise, my absolute favorite colors!

Have a great weekend!
