Studio yoga day 6

Class this morning with Marco. There was only 2 of us so there was lots of question and answer time. It was nice cuz I got some answers to poses I had questions about, and the class was a lot easier due to all those breaks.

Studio yoga day 5

This morning went to class taught by KJ. A little easier than yesterday, I had a nice chat with most of the instructors after class.

Studio yoga day 4

Class this evening with Marco. Once again, easier than yesterday. This one didn't really kill me at all, very nice. I did manage to give myself a rug burn on the top of my head coming out of wheel tho.

Studio yoga day 3

This evening went to a class with Karen. Easier than yesterday, only in part due to her changing it up a bit to make it easier, no grueling sets of push ups this time.

Studio yoga day 2

Late this afternoon went to Studio again. Marco was teaching, talked to him a bit before. Pretty cool guy that put together a good video about yoga, and I told him that. Class was a lot easier than yesterday, didn't wilt near as badly.

Studio hot yoga

Late this afternoon went and paid for a 7 day trial at Studio yoga. Class was very hard, lots of bikram stuff with lots of traditional postures and flow, it really kicked my ass, Justin taught it.

LAF yoga

Yesterday morning went to Teri's power yoga class at the gym.

Scudder

This morning ran another route I haven't done in a couple years. Canal to frontage road, over to Gaiki park, on to Scudder park, down Lakeshore to the canal and home. Nice day, 5.66 miles.

Rancho del Mar park

This morning ran to Rancho del Mar park, via canal on the way there and Dobson High (site of Carissa soaking wet graduation ceremony last night) on the way back. 6.33 miles.

Javalena Canyon

Yesterday morning ran Pima wash to Ridgeline to Javalina to Beverly to West loop and back. Nice day out, about 6 miles.

LAF yoga and yoga

This morning went to the class with the still unnamed good instructor at the gym. Good class, good workout. This evening went to Taylors other class. Had a nice chat with her before and a nice class. Back is pretty tired right about now.

LAF yoga

Taylor's class this afternoon at the gym. Good class as usual.

Pima ridgeline and IVY heated flow

This morning ran up Pima road to the end, up onto the ridgeline on the left for awhile, and back the same way. Hot as hell, about 4.5 miles. Late in the afternoon went to to Aaron's hot flow class. It was tough as hell, but I got thru it.

IVY level 2

Class this morning with Marie again. Wasn't as hard as Jeff's level 2, which I am fine with actually. Marie is cool and I am getting slightly better at inversions.

IVY level 1-2

This morning went to a class at Tempe studio with Marie subbing for Aaron. Good class, I did pretty well with headstand.

IVY power

Went to Jeff's power class again this morning. It was crowded and hard as hell again, my back hurts from all the plough I have done lately.

IVY power

This mornng went to Josh's power yoga class. Brutal hard like last time. All the crow pose and variations that I couldn't do last time I still can't do, oh well.

Pima ridgeline and PF yoga

This morning ran the ridge from the parking lot to the end of Pima canyon road and back. It was hot, hot, hot, about 3.5 miles. In the evening went to Heather's class, it was way too easy tonite.

IVY ashtanga

This evening went to Tempe innervision for an ashtanga class with Michelle. Carissa went with and it was two hours long and yea, I was a bit tired at the end. Great class tho, covers tons of postures.

IVY yin-yang and east/beverly/pima

This morning went to a yin-yang flow yoga class at the Tempe innervision, much nicer and larger studio than the Chandler one. Donna taught the class and it was ok, not to hard or easy. In the middle of the afternoon went to south mountain and ran a loop, east loop to beverly canyon to pima canyon road and back. It was pretty hot, about 4 miles.

IVY heated

This morning went to a heated class with Josh. He corrected me about a million times and I almost wilted during triangle, but made it thru in the end.

IVY level 1-2

This morning went to a class with the hottest yoga instructor ever, Patricia, why she is teaching yoga is beyond me. Class was easier than the last 4 days but I sweat like a pig regardless.

IVY power

This morning went to another power yoga class, this one by Jeff. Hard as hell, but not as bad as yesterday. My partner executed a very nice hand stand, while I of course did not.

IVY power

This morning went to another ridiculously hard class at Innervision, this time with Josh. This class was chock full of postures I couldn't even come close to doing.

IVY level 2

This morning went to a level 2 class at innervision with Jeff. It was quite possibly the hardest class I have ever had, I managed to get cramps in both calves and quads.

IVY power

This morning I took a power yoga class at Innervision with Aaron. It was the hardest non-hot yoga class I have every taken, sweet!

LAF yoga

This morning went to a class at the south Scottsdale LA Fitness. Ironically, the teacher was the same lame one that teaches on Friday at my gym. This class wasn't bad tho, but still too easy.

LAF yoga

This morning went to class at LA Fitness, Renee from Ahwatukee was filling in for Teri, out of town on business. Good class, no complaints.

Innervision-heated yoga

This morning took the card for a free class I got from Taylor and went to the 8am hot yoga class at Innervision Chandler. Turns out it is a straight up rip off of Bikram, with minor modifications. In a way I liked it more, you have the option of modifying postures. There was a few less second sets and less savasana, particularly at the end, also the room wasn't quite as hot, and wood floor so you have to stay on your mat.

Tempe canal

This morning after dropping the boy off at school drove up to Tempe canal at Southern, parked and ran from there to 8th street and back, about 6 miles. They are building a very nice path between Apache and University.
