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

I have made many mistakes when it comes to training my body to become more flexible. I thought I had to force myself to stretch to the point of pain to see any real success.

To help me love myself and love others with respect. To recognise those things that don’t serve me and to let them go. Working through challenges on my mat encourages in me the integrity to work through challenges in my life.
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…

I’m huge fan of community workouts, not only because they are free (I’m on a tight budget), but also because they allow me to enjoy the beautiful Miami weather alongside my local community.
I get frustrated consistently looking at different websites for free workouts that are happening, especially since the information is not organized in a clear way. I also realize that many of the websites that do post multiple events are not up to date- sometimes I’ve shown up to different locations only to discover those community workouts are no longer happening. I figure I would post the community workouts that I have been to, or have heard positive things about, in one place here.
You can find some of my favorite free community workouts in Miami (organized by day of the week) below. I will try my best to keep this up to date!

I’ve written about it before, but I can never talk about it enough. What is my favorite type of exercise? Yoga! I find time throughout my week that allows me to go to Fusion Yoga at least once or twice.
I only participate in the heated classes, because I feel those give me the best practice. The room can be up to 101 degrees, which is so refreshing. I try to arrive around 15 minutes before my class, and set my matt down with water, a block, and a towel. ALWAYS DRINK WATER BEFORE A HEATED CLASS! (You might regret it). We start the hour class off with finding our breath and beginning our practice. Depending on the instructor, we might do 2-3 different variations of poses, stretches, etc. When the class comes to an end, we come into “Savasana.” This is the final relaxation pose…
