Let's address something that comes up on social media a lot, it's the message that "yoga doesn't make you fit/trim/in shape"
I've tried all the fitness fads over the years. I've slogged my guts out at the gym, pushed through exercise classes that just left me hurting and fed up, pounded the streets and hurt my knees π«
All I've given up on because in reality, I hated it!
But I've always stuck to yoga and pilates........for 26 years now π₯°
And now I only do yoga and pilates, plus going for a nice walk.
And am I in shape? Yes, I'm in the best shape of my life!
Am I stick thin? No, because I like to eat π
But I am injury free and I stick to a practice that I love and is never a chore
So I'd like to loudly advocate for a good regular yoga/pilates practice for keeping you in shape, especially one with movement and strengthening poses (like I teach) ππ§ββοΈ
