What I wore to pulling my head out of my ass, aka what I wore to yoga

I cannot believe I am about to post a picture of what I wore to yoga this morning.  I really can't, but I feel like I should.  I've posted some of my most "real" outfits this week, and I just want to continue on showing everyone how frumpy I am fashionable I am.

 
This pose is a nontechnical variation on warrior 2?  

Okay so my post about two weeks ago where I admitted to feeling totally overwhelmed.  Well instead of being active, I decided to retreat into my butt and not do anything about it, and lost absolutely any sort of balance in my life, my time, my home, etc.  The weight of all of this fell hard on me as I crawled into bed last night and then seeped into my morning.  I really had a hard time smiling for photos this morning, so I didn't.  Today is getting my head out of my ass day.  Yoga was great, and one of the things on my "I Must" list (more on that later).  My shoulders feel like liquid and I feel ready to tackle the day.  However, I'm still totally stressed and hormonal and a tad bit overwhelmed, but I at least feel like I will have the energy to conquer through it.

As if you care but here is what I'm wearing:

Hoodie: American Apparel Track Jacket for work.
T-shirt: American Apparel t-shirt from former work event.
Leggings: Old and from junior year of high school
Leg warmer: Mom
Shoes: Toms

Keeping up resolutions with @yogatoday


This is Neesha, answering the telephone...
  
*This is not fashion related, so you can stop reading now if you only care about that and it is NOT a sponsored post.  I just really love yogatoday and wanted to give them some love!*

I feel like at 25, my body just decided to stop processing calories as quickly as it did when I was 12.  My metabolism feels like it has slowed to the pace of a slightly speedy turtle.  I decided, even before the new year, that I would start doing yoga.  I was a gymnast for about 10 years when I was growing up, and then jumped around to swimming and soccer.  I have always loved the concept of yoga, but never really actively participated until this past year thanks to this wonderful site Yoga Today.

Yoga Today offers a free hour long class every week to stream directly from their website.  They also offer all of their classes for downloadable purchase for $3.99.  You can also buy a month long subscription for $9.99.  Right now you can purchase their year long subscription at 25% off!  With the monthly/annual subscription you can stream any class, as many classes as you want.

I try to stay in the beginner and novice category, but for a challenge I like to do a more advanced class every once in a while.  I love the way I feel afterwards, and the fact that I can do it at home, makes it  easy to fit into my busy schedule.  I have discovered that I am more drawn to Anasura yoga, that deals with the heart behind your yoga practice, in which Neesha is the main Anasura instructor. 

I keep reading about so many blogs where people want to start doing yoga and just wanted to extend a helping hand and let you all know that you are not alone!  Anyone else interested in starting a yoga regimen?  I would love to help keep myself and others motivated!
