Hi all!
Yesterday was a nice and relaxing day after such a busy weekend. We drove home from the city, and the first thing we did was put on a fire.
I haven’t mentioned it on the bloggie yet, but since Dr. Os is finishing a post-graduate degree, and I am finishing a certification, we moved in with his parents for a few months while we wrap up some school. It was either this or part-time classes for the next 3 years… so most of our pictures are his parents house. 🙂
Anwyay, after doing some major relaxing, I settled in to do a yoga DVD. I absolutely love Ana Forrest style yoga, and DVD’s seem to be where it’s at in north Jersey.
I love taking yoga classes up here, but sometimes I need the core-focused yoga. It’s always good to switch it up and keep your muscles guessing. 🙂
It was really great to practice next to the wood stove, although I am not sure you can tell from the picture that it was on. Sometimes the flames are a little low. 🙂
This DVD I like to do is a little slow-moving, but that really allows me to get into the poses and open up my tight spots. Part of it is also an intense core-focused sequence, which I love for working out my inner abdominals.
Next up was some working, dinner with a co-worker, and then what is quickly becoming my new favorite way to workout… Zumba!
I was finally able to make another class with my favorite instructor, Chris SantaMaria. He is so great- he has such high energy and really teaches some amazing classes. Although I don’t have any pictures from Zumba, I have one silly one of the baby…
And doesn’t that look comfortable? Chin resting on table doggie relaxation pose?
Hope you all have a great day! Tomorrow I’ve got running and hopefully some yoga on my plate. Do you try to plan your workouts ahead of time? I really like to know what classes I plan on attending each week so that I can schedule around them. I like to make them a priority. 🙂

that yoga in front of the fire seems so relaxing! I do try to plan out my workouts ahead of time 🙂
What a relaxing spot to do yoga! The hubs and I lived with his parents for a couple months a few years ago, it’s hard not to have your own space – but definitely worth it if it means not taking 3 years to finish up your classes 🙂
I try to plan my runs ahead of time, so I know distance (and thus what time I need to wake up) but for other workouts I’ll play it by ear and just see what I feel like on that day.
