So everyone talks about the benefits of prenatal yoga. I really wanted to give it a shot, but there are NO yoga studios or classes in my area that offer this class for moms-to-be. If I wanted to hang around Boston after work, and spend a ton of money there is a cool place called Isis that offers all types of class for before, during and after birth. We may check out some of their birthing and infant care classes if I can't find anything in our area, but I don't want to spend the money on their prenatal yoga class!
I wanted to join a regular yoga class and had every intention of joining tonight. However, with my ridiculous headaches lately, I'm afraid to fork over cash and not be able to go.
How did I solve this problem?
With Fitness TV On Demand.
They have tons of different yoga (and other fitness) "classes" for free! I tried out a beginner video tonight and realized:
a. I am not flexible
b. I am not coordinated
c. I have a hard time following directions
I am so happy I decided to warm up at home before jumping into a class in the real world. If I can motivate myself to do a video each time Kiel goes to the gym, hopefully my flexibility, coordination, and understanding of the yoga terms will improve.
I loved the way this type of exercise made my lower back feel. Right now it feels perfectly stretched out-just what I had been looking for the past few days. I also loved being able to focus on my breathing. Hopefully that aspect will help with my headaches.
Overall, it is a far stretch from my pre-pregnancy workouts of running, spinning, and lifting (light) weights. But I think it is something that could grow on me!
