My five year old can do downward facing dog so much better than I can. I’ve accepted it. And haven’t let it stop me from going to yoga.
Strange as it may seem, all my yoga pants have actually been to yoga. Actually, I started going to yoga before I even owned a pair of yoga pants or had any idea what they were(obviously pre-kids, a million years ago).
If you’ve never tried yoga, I shared six tips to keep in mind for your first yoga class over on the Mars Healthy Living blog. I’d love for you to head over and check them out: Take Your Yoga Pants to Yoga
Have you tried yoga?
I was selected for this opportunity as a member of Clever Girls Collective and the content and opinions expressed here are all my own.
This reminds me of BlogHer. 🙂 I need to get myself back into my yoga class. I have “go to a yoga retreat” as something on my bucket list and in the meantime, my yoga pants go EVERYWHERE. 🙂
I really want to go to another yoga retreat. My first was so incredible. Thinking maybe for my 40th, though I’d love to go before.
I’m wearing my yoga pants today, too! But Saturday and Sunday I did 3.1 and 2.8 miles respectively. Today I rest!
That’s awesome! My oldest runs. I just time him!
I think yoga might be the one thing I haven’t tried yet. I want to, but I already have memberships at 2 gyms and I pay for martial arts, so I don’t want to take on a 4th thing to have to pay for right now.
I understand! Right now, I do most of my workouts at home on the xbox. But I take yoga at a studio in town.
You’d be surprise that I have never done yoga but I would like to. I know it’s great for you and relaxing.
It is relaxing. It can be a great workout, too.
I absolutely love Yoga! I don’t get to practice as often as I’d like to 🙁
I don’t, either. Usually just about once a week right now because I’ve been adding more cardio. But I love when I do get to practice.
I own yoga pants, yet I’ve never been to yoga. This is a great post. It’s important to try and incorporate some healthy habits into our lives – Tracey @ Just a Trace
It can be a really great workout!
I have never tried yoga before. I have seen it, but never been inspired enough to try it out!
When I was doing yoga regularly(as opposed to now which is once a week), I was in the best shape of my life. It didn’t seem like it could do that, but it did!
I have never done yoga. Maybe time to start
I really enjoy it. Even one practice a week can make a difference.
I have tried yoga and I loved it. It just relaxes me. As you focus on the yoga…everything else just melts away.
That’s what I love about yoga. I need that time to clear my head.
I’ve never tried yoga. I have a few pilates workouts (on dvd) that I enjoy from time to time, but just never tried yoga.
I’ve only tried pilates a few times. My core is so weak, I was awful at it!
I’ve only ever done yoga at home with a video. My Kindergartner takes yoga at school!
That’s so neat that your kindergartener does it! There’s a lot of benefits to kids doing yoga.
I have never tried yoga. I’ve also never tried yoga pants, but had been contemplating it as I hear they’re pretty comfy.
No yoga pants? I live in mine.
I have friends that do yoga. They love the exercise and what it does for their mental health.
It really is great exercise.
wait. yoga pants are for yoga?shoot.
🙂
my kids have taken yoga classes and LOVEd it. all 3 of them!
Ha! I know- I wear mine every day but don’t do yoga quite that often!
Yes, I have tried and love yoga, but I always opt for interval training or running because my time to workout is so limited. I really need to get back into yoga though; it truly is relaxing for the soul.
I’ve been doing more cardio lately, too. But I still get in one yoga session a week.
I’ve taken yoga on and off for a while. I like it but struggle with the slower pace of it. I try to stick with it though because I know I need the stretching and relaxing benefits from it.
Have you tried a power class? There are some quicker moving classes out there.
That’s awesome that you’re on the Mars Healthy Living blog! I have tried yoga from the comfort of my home, but I’d love to try a class. I have a friend that teaches AERIAL YOGA! How cool is that?!
Thanks! That would be awesome to try aerial yoga! I’ve never done that. I did do slackline yoga once, which is on a rope. It was a challenge just to get up and walk across the line!
I always thought that Yoga was so calming and all of that. Yoga is a WORKOUT! I sweat more when I do Yoga then when I do cardio!!! haha! I do love me some comfy Yoga pants though.
For sure! It’s all in what kind of class you take. When I was taking class 5x a week, I got into amazing shape. Lately, I just do one class a week and the rest cardio.
Everyone raves about how comfy Yoga pants are. That makes me very curious to try them! 🙂
I live in mine! So comfy.
I need to find more time for yoga! I really miss it
Me, too. I get in one session a week, but I want more.
My yoga pants are for work. LOL I actually did wear them to the y this morning.
That’s awesome! I work from home, so I can wear mine all the time.
I haven’t tried yoga but I do have some programs queued up on Hulu Plus. My daughter and I want to try it out.
I love it, though it did take some getting used to.
None of my yoga pants have been TO yoga but I do yoga in my home 🙂
That totally counts!
I do yoga but at home by myself. I don’t actually wear yoga pants though, I like to work out in shorts
I don’t mind wearing shorts if I’m practicing at home. In a studio where there’s someone behind me, I need pants(or at least capris) for all that bending.
I run and work out at the gym, but I bet finding some time for yoga would really increase my health. It sounds like a great way to cool off OR warm up before I run.
My friend posted on Facebook today, “Look, I’m wearing yoga pants today. In public.” Made me giggle- but she’s a yoga instructor so I think she gets to anyway!
I did yoga when we lived on a Marine base in NC. It totally kicked my butt haha
I’ve never tried Yoga, but it’s on my bucket list. It looks so peaceful and refreshing! Cute kid BTW.
I have a friend that is awesome at Yoga. It is so inspiring to see people involved in this!
I did try yoga once at the gym I go to. I wasn’t a fan, it was much too slow paced for me LOL
As a mom you can never have too many pairs of yoga pants. I need to start yoga I just have the pants, baby steps baby steps LOL
I don’t do yoga, but I really need it! I am working on losing weight and I seem to forget to stretch!
Okay, this is hilarious! I totally wear my yoga pants everywhere.. but never to yoga.
I have tons of Yoga pants and none of them have ever been to Yoga. You’re so much more productive than I lol.
If yoga taught me anything it’s that I’m nowhere near as flexible or limber as I need to be. I feel silly every time I try lol.
