Yoga adds Fun to Life


My last post was about how we did yoga everyday during our week in Lake Powell. The days were also filled with skiing, wakeboarding, tubing, surfing, hiking, swiming, paddle board, kayaks, relaxing, etc.

My husband and sons are big into all the water sports:
My son Jason

Me, not so much. In years past I have skied once or twice, than usually been too sore to do much more than happily relax and enjoy the water and sun the rest of the week.  This year my son, Skyler, taught me to wakeboard and I got up on the board every day, sometimes more than once! How was this possible? What made the difference? Maybe I'm finally old enough?  Ha ha, I doubt that!

The only real difference is YOGA!



Because of the Yoga Teacher Training I have been involved with all year, I have done yoga almost every day. I didn't realize how much difference it had made, until I shocked my family and surprised myself by not only asking to learn to wakeboard, but being able to stay with it until I got up!  I am so much stronger, and I have more stamina and flexibility.


I am truly amazed. I love yoga for it's own sake, and now even more for all this new fun it is allowing me to add to my life. Thank you Syl Carson at Bodhi Yoga! 


No tricks for me...yet.
