Time for another Mad Lib!!!
When I think about yoga, the first thought that comes to mind is flexibility. Yoga relaxes me and makes me feel calm.
That’s why I am so determined to participate in prAna’s Take the Leap 30 days of Yoga Challenge with Sweat Pink. I plan to Warrior I my way to a more flexible and infury-free 2015!
For me, the biggest challenge when it comes to yoga is finding the time to do it! Taking the Leap with prAna and Sweat Pink is a great way for me to face/conquer/achieve/find that time! My favorite place to yoga is Heartspace in Albany because it is so close to work and the instructor is great.
I am hoping this challenge will inspire me to do yoga every day. I can’t afford the time or money to go to classes. But there are so many online videos. I think I can squeeze in at least 5 minutes a day.
I doubt you see many pictures of my poses on Instagram. As I may have mentioned, I am not very flexible and so my poses are not pretty. It is also difficult to get pictures from a flattering angle.

However, I would love to see some yoga poses from my readers! Post one to Instagram and tag me!@dsc59
Come one! Take the Leap with me!
It starts tomorrow!!!

Happy Running! Want to play? Just copy and paste the Mad Lib in fill in your own blanks! Are you taking 30 Day Yoga Challenge?

Aww, thank you! Hmmm, can I find time for yet another challenge? Life is challenging enough right now! Sadly, yoga did not get done yesterday; I only had time for foam rolling. Usually I do both before bed on running days but I knew I needed to get to bed.
But I know you love a challenge. Maybe give yourself a dollar towards running gear every time you do yoga?

I already do most of the ones suggested for hips/glutes on a pretty regular basis.

Great post Darlene. I started taking yoga classes a couple of weeks ago. Love it. And although some of the poses are a challenge, I find that in the poses for runners….I am more flexible. I was surprised by that, but I guess running does help those muscles somewhat. Good luck on your challenge.

I’m not at all flexible which is why I do yoga! I can only imagine how much worse it would be for me without it!

I’ve recently looked for classes that fit with my schedule, with no luck. I guess I will have to go it on my own. I need to learn the basics.
