Is Yoga All You Need?

In this New York Times article the author describes her ten year devotion to yoga as her only form of exercise.  As her wedding approached she decided to hire a personal trainer and started doing yoga less frequently.  Adding strength training helped her reach her goal weight in time for her wedding, plus she now feels stronger and leaner.  What I like about this article is her discovery that mixing it up is a good idea.  Whether you are into running, spinning, Pilates, Zumba or Cross Fit adding variety to your routine (cross training) will not only keep boredom at bay but also have you looking and feeling your best.

Are you stuck in a workout rut?  Contact Anne and she will set you up with a program that includes strength, cardio and flexibility.

Yoga For Pain Relief Case Study Results

Last month’s yoga series was a huge success! Thanks to all my ladies who participated. We met once a week for six weeks for ninety minutes of restorative, gentle yoga. Our focus was chronic pain relief and we recorded pain levels at every session.

All of our participants reported lower pain levels by the end of the six weeks. One client reduced her chronic pain by six points, going from a 7 out of 10 at week one to a 1 out of 10 at week six! All noticed increased breath and postural awareness and greater ease of movement during their daily activities.

I know yoga can seem intimidating if you have never set foot in a studio. To quote Martin Luther King: “You don’t have to see the top of the staircase to take the first step”

Mt Tabor Hike This Wednesday at Noon

 

Come take the Mt Tabor Challenge with Anne and the boot camp crew!  We meet at noon this Wednesday July 15th at the north side of the park near the intersection of Belmont and S.E. 69th.  We will start at the stairs (count em – 300!)  Then go off road so wear comfortable trail shoes.

The high is supposed to be 90 tomorrow so this will be the place to be – most of the trails are in the shade.  For more info or to R.S.V.P. call Anne at 503-705-4762.
