My new Yoga Home Away from Home

While visiting our Tucson family over the holidays I was fortunate enough to find a yoga studio within walking distance of my sister-in-law's house. I knew as soon as I saw the studio's name, "Mindful Yoga," that this would probably be a good fit for me.

Sure enough, I picked up a class listing and found 3-4 Yin Yoga classes and 2-3 Restorative Yoga classes a week! Plus other fun stuff like "Aroma Yoga" and "Mindful Morning Stretch." So exciting! I could be a student, not a teacher, and just totally enjoy myself. I bought a 10-punch pass and used it all in the short time we were there. Plus, many of my family members attended a class with me so they were able to enjoy the studio too.

Hilda, the owner, honored me by asking if I would like to teach in her studio the next time I am in Tucson. I would love to.







Here's a few pic's of the studio (click image to enlarge).

Back studio - a bit more cozy and has cool light covers.

Both studios have plenty of awesome bolsters plus blankets, blocks, etc.

I am really happy to have found this studio while in Tucson. It's lovely to have the opportunity to be a student.

Myth of Aging Wrap-up

I have been practicing Somatics regularly for about 4 ½ months now and my body is noticeably different. I no longer have the almost overwhelming desire to crack my back and my neck or go to the chiropractor. I have only been to the chiropractor once since September and it is January now. This is amazing to me. I no longer have chronic stiffness in my neck, my ribs are not popping out of alignment constantly, and I rarely have SI joint pain. These three things have been chronic annoyances in my life since about age 20. I cannot say how happy I am to feel so free in my body.
