Sun Salutations

I have been doing yoga for the last 2 months.

Breathe
This is unusual for me, because although I am relatively fit person, I never in the past had patience for yoga.  I was also never flexible or balanced. When I said 'balanced', I referred to the physical sense of balance, but now when I think about it, maybe it has something to do with emotional/psychological balance as well.  


My yoga practice started after I went on Cornerstone retreat in the end of February, where it was part of the program.  There are many reason why yoga have resonated with me at this point of my life, like looking for inner peace and balance, but one of them was that we have a wonderful instructor.  Every session is a variation on a topic and she usually tells a little story in the beginning connecting practice of yoga with something happening in our life and then she keeps coming back to it as she guides us through different poses for hour and a half.  In the past, I was always skeptical when somebody said something to the effect that 'doing twists helps us with twists in our daily life', but somehow it makes perfect sense now.  I seriously think I am going through mid-life crisis...  

The Trailhead Tee is current, from Athleta and my pants are from Lululemon (old).  Well, old habits die hard and nothing puts me in the mood of doing something like having some cute outfits to do it in :)   



The tee is size small and I love the color and fit.


As for the pants, I no longer see them at Lululemon, which is a shame, I hope they will bring them back. I know you are not supposed to wear your yoga pants outside of yoga practice but I have to admit of being guilty of staying in them after the practice on some days, they are just so comfy. One funny thing about Lululemon pants is that they have their logo placed in some weird places and people always tell me I have something under my left knee...


The sheering in front of the tee is great for camouflaging some imperfections but the sheering in the back makes the tee, imo.


On another note, I am so happy about the sunshine and warmer weather, I just love this time of the year! Every week I buy myself a bunch of flowers and this week I paid tribute to one of my favorite painters:


Flowers of the week :D

That's all folks!

Do you do yoga?

Have you bought anything from Athleta or Lululemon?

Do you buy flowers for yourself?
