So you want to be a yogi....

I've been thinking a lot lately about taking up yoga. It's relaxing, doesn't make my asthma act up, and a nice work out.
While looking up the lowest prices for yoga mat's I stumbled upon this book under the shopping section of google search.

"Meet your new best yoga—and healthy eating—friend in this smart, accessible, heartfelt, and funny diet memoir. For years, Jessica Berger Gross struggled with fluctuating weight and bouts of unhappiness. Like many of us, she found comfort in food and craved cigarettes and self-confidence. Then one day, she took a yoga class. It changed her life.
In enLIGHTened, she shares the core principles of yoga philosophy drawn from a 2000-year-old text called the Yoga Sutras. The practice of yoga offers answers to eating smartly, living right, and losing weight.
Go beyond trendy diets, unsustainable exercise routines, and the quest for the perfect figure. With a spiritual philosophy and inspiring personal stories, enLIGHTened will set you on a journey to self-acceptance, peace, and long-term health."

I read the first 27 sample pages on Google Reader and I have got to say, I totally have to buy this book now. I can relate to her in so many ways and just the first couple of chapters of this book are so inspiring. It's so refreshing to hear that I'm not the only one who feels like the chubby girl when she walks into a yoga (or any type of fitness class for that matter.) for the first time. I'm planning on buying the book and starting practicing yoga more, I'm really hoping to stick with it this time around.

I believe that this is the author's webite, I would totally go check it out and read the sample here if I were you.



As for my project 365 photo for today...I didn't get around to taking many photos of today's activities (because nothing really happened) so I will leave you with this photo of Rowyn with blueberry all over her face from snack time today.
