Developing the Warrior Within
I
have always had an interest in fitness. It started when I was young and I just
loved to move. My parents quickly got me into dancing where I was immediately
hooked on almost any format I tried. As I got older, I continued to see
movement as my medicine, something I needed to do to stay balanced and happy,
kind of like an apple a day. Any time that I fell out of an exercise routine,
life seemed more challenging and harder. So, I hit the gym regularly staying
fit with weight training and cardio.
And
then I found yoga, and wow- this was the movement that spoke to my soul. By
combining the breathing with fluid movement, my mind felt clearer than ever. I
began to replace all my gym workouts with yoga. I traveled the world studying
with some of the most well-known yogis as I began to devote myself to the
practice of yoga.
After
a few years of using yoga as my sole fitness experience, I began to notice that
while some areas of my body were strong, others were becoming weaker. I began
to feel discomfort in my low back, my stamina seemed sluggish, and my legs felt
weak. When I looked in the mirror, my body still looked fit, but something was
missing. I was missing the endurance, cardio, dynamic strength, and explosive
movements of my gym training.
By
discovering my own areas of imbalance, I decided to merge my yoga with the
other workouts I needed to create strength again and the class, Yoga Bootcamp
formed. Yoga Bootcamp is the cross training workout that got me back into shape
and I can’t wait to help others feel how powerful they can become.
After
this type of workout, you will feel invigorated and confident. The Warrior
(vira power) within comes alive which you will carry within you in every aspect
of living. Playful, spontaneous and
courageous, we train as a group for an intense, hot, sweaty class all in one
hour.
