I ended up booking this 15-day 200 hour training in Isla Mujeres, an island in Mexico. It was definitely worth the experience from learning the philosophy behind yoga to creating a practicum to teach. The people I met at the training were awesome and came from a variety of countries from France to the UK to Canada

Going for a run always lifts my mood and makes me feel good about myself. It makes overwhelming tasks seem doable. One of the most valuable things I’ve learnt at university is that it’s better to do one hour less of studying if it means you can do some exercise, because this makes the subsequent hours much more productive.

Fitness is so much harder when you are disabled because almost everything is designed for abled people and the disability community is often left hanging. I get a majority of your audience will probably be abled people and I don’t blame fitness trainers for not having extensive not on disability but I do blame them for not even trying to make their workout accessible. Some people will take the initiative and look for something that is accessible but other people will not and will just accept the fact that it does not exist which is sad because it shouldn’t take three days to find a twenty minute workout. There are some seated workouts that I have found but in my experience, most of them are not accessible because pretty much all of them require you to move your leg the whole time or do some type of heel movement which some people can do but a lot of people can’t so even though it says it’s accessible that doesn’t mean it is. Accessible workouts do exist but there aren’t near as many accessible ones as inaccessible and as frustrating as it is sometimes it’s just better to do those and modify than to look for something accessible because it will be like finding a needle in a haystack.

I wish I were more upright but this is me; not quite parallel but I can get this far down. But when I start using weight: I need to get this far down, every time, else I am using too much weight.

I had what I would consider an exercise obsession (work off everything you eat) and overly strict diet (I’m talking zero fat- very bad). So, I quickly realized that working in the field would not be the best long-term fit for me. I choose not to work in a field that is based largely on superficial results. And yes, there are a lot of internal physical benefits to exercise, and I will continue to offer advice and exercise myself, but being totally immersed in the fitness industry is not for me. I don’t find it rewarding on the level I am looking for. For some, it’s the perfect fit, and that’s great. It’s just not for me.

Let me tell you though, the plateau on top of the mountain is a breath of fresh air and a sigh of relief. It is the ‘this body ran five miles’ instead of the ‘this body ate 150 calories over’. It is laughing when it downpours during a walk instead of panicking to find a different way to burn 300 calories. And it is the recognition that nothing in the world can beat a good scoop of ice cream.

It’s easy to ignore a weakness but the better idea is training it until its one of your strengths!

A quick recap of where we came from, and more importantly, where we are going. First we tried Facebook groups. Then we started streaming 1 – 2 classes a day on Zoom from our local studios. But both of these options were missing something big – YOU!! We had no idea on Facebook if we were talking to dead air the entire class – there was no one there on our end, that we knew of. We loved making the transition to Zoom – better audio capabilities and the ability to 2-way video conference (so we can SEE you – civilization, woo hoo!!). But we felt like we were still missing a large majority of our members, live. Some of you could join in live on those 1-2 classes daily, but most of you could not. And let’s all be honest with each other. No one pushes as hard from home when there’s not that accountability, or energy, of doing it live with others (and your cameras ON babes!). A recorded class is a fantastic plan B, but it’s like taking a class without sound. You can mirror the moves pretty well, but you’re not getting the full experience.

Bring your mat, leave your sass at home
So, I took my first yoga class today. I mean, like my first yoga class EVER. I am at least slightly aware of the trends of the world around me, and as a 40-something Gen Xer, and have been painfully aware that yoga, along with tons of other things borrowed from ancient monks, has kinda become a thing. They even make special pants for it. If you know me at all, you might not be surprised that I’m really not “a yoga person.” I’m everything yoga is NOT: I’m essentially a klutzy, loud, awkward, generally muddy, uncouth, disheveled, irregular breather. I’ve refused even attempting it for years because, well…. refer to previous sentence. I’m also a mighty large lady, and since popping out another human, my midsection has gotten soft and wobbly (like a perfect flan). Flexibility and bending and folding and…

In August of 2017, my friend Jessie who is a Coach at a local Crossfit gym, invited me and 
several friends to a class she was teaching that was starting in September called Get Fit! I had tried a number of things over the years of young motherhood to manage my diet and fitness, like running and yoga and learning more about how to cook and eat in a balanced manner. I had run a number of 5K and 10K races and I frequently would run my energetic dog for exercise.
I was very intrigued by Crossfit when I started to meet more and more women who were involved in it and who had transformed their physical appearance by working out at Crossfit gyms. I had previously assumed this was a guy thing and that it would be ridiculously hard-too hard for me to ever succeed at as…
