Started my morning on the foam roller. If any of you have not used one of these things yet, I highly recommend one. They give you the most amazing massage and get your muscles ready for whatever workout your going to do by increasing the blood flow to the muscles, loosening your connective tissues, and heck, it just feels great. I think the thing comes with instructions, but I received a bit of instruction on it from a trainer named David (Last name coming) who I met when I tried out the Spectrum Club. It also feels great after a workout.
Then onto the bike and rode to my Yoga class. I take yoga at Brian Krest's Power Yoga; a fantastic donation based yoga experience. I'll usually take two classes a week if I can, one from a Yogi named Jerome on Tuesday mornings. Jerome's class is quite advanced, and way above my abilities, but I like pushing myself, and regardless of my skill level I feel totally welcome and comfortable there. The other Yogi I study with is Toni, this class is closer to my level although still a bit beyond my reach. Still as with Jerome's class really a truly accepting and welcoming environment for students of any level. Today class with Toni was a real sweat-fest and I left there pretty wrung out, so instead of extending my ride as I usually do, I just rode home.
If your in a yoga mood, I Brian's programs are amazing and I'm sure regardless of your skill level you will have an amazing session.
