Fortunately for me, my friend Pauline asked me to do yoga with her last week. Not just any ol' yoga.. but CorePower Yoga. The difference between regular yoga and CorePower yoga is that although one concentrates more on poses, flexibility, and meditation.. CorePower also focuses on your 'core' muscles. It's like a blend of pilates and yoga. Why did I voluntarily go to a CorePower 2 class? I'm not sure but I do know that it kicked my ass! This class is similar to Bikram's yoga, where the temperature of the room is regulated to make sure you 'sweat 'til you bleed.' Okay, maybe not bleed but sweat-sweat. Our instructor that night was named Steve and it was such a lovely blessing to have yoga re-introduced into my life.. that I invited my friends Tarin and Joy to come along to another class yesterday. This time, it was the CorePower 1: Introduction to Yoga class taught by the wonderful Jessa. The temperature was not as extreme, but you still get a major work out from it. She closed with such a mind-opening 'speech' that it seriously almost brought tears to my eyes! (It's probably my out of control hormones- sorry boyfriend for having to deal with such a hormonal woman! and thank you for always being by my side.) The great thing about CorePower yoga is that if you are a new student, you can try 'em out for a week at no cost! Also, if you are a student.. you can get a pretty good discount! Check 'em out here and I guarantee you will NOT be disappointed! Namaste.
