Yogapod

After a few months of not doing any yoga my body was feeling unhealthy. I had a day off today. I made it to the 12 - 1 pm class at Yogapod in North Vancouver. On the block with Yogapod, there is a pilates studio, 2 dance studio and a few health centers.

The reception area is very welcoming. The receptionist is very friendly. There is also yoga products for sale. Once you enter Yogapod, you can smell the a fresh scent in the air. It isn't incense. It is a very light flowery scent. It wasn't overpowering that it would give you a headache. It is a small studio. It is a one room studio. The room was very clean. It wasn't very decorated. Two of the four walls was floor to ceiling mirrors. It helped me with the yoga. Some poses I wasn't sure of and I just looked in the mirror to see what everyone else was doing. The teacher was good. She is probably in her mid twenties and very toned and fit. She started the class with a passage from one of her yoga teachers. It was basically the foundation of the Law of Attraction. She didn't have a mat but she instructed us on what to do. She walked around to make sure we were doing our poses correctly. There wasn't any music but the atmosphere was very relaxing. There were some poses in this class that I haven't done before. By the end of class, I was tired. My overall experience was great with this yoga studio. I would come here again.

Training for Sun Run

I did the Sun Run route yesterday. I walked with my friend and her dogs. We walked a fairly slow pace. It took us 2 hr and 40 mins. It was sunny and clear when I met up with her. After about an hour or so, it started to drizzle. Then drizzle became more rain. So I was walking in the rain with no umbrella.
