Good for you! It sounds like the perfect scenario – how convenient that the “studio” is just one block from your house!

I’ve been trying to walk regularly now that I’m in my third trimester. This morning I met a friend at a nearby high school and we walked for 40 minutes around the track.

I’m another who does yoga on the Wii Fit, and I love it! I try to do it every day, that of course doesn’t necessarily happen but I never miss 2 days in a row. I like to do the strength and yoga it suggests – do a yoga pose, then do the strength exercise that goes with it. If I don’t have time to do a full yoga and strength (it’s about an hour to do all of the poses and exercises) then I do 30 minutes. My balance has improved and I’ve definitely noticed my back doesn’t get as knotted up.

Yes, I do yoga and teach yoga. I love it! I do private sessions. That is one of my favorite ways to teach since i get to be one on one and help make corrections. I also have a on line yoga clothing store:

Many years ago, I took my first Yoga class with a Yoga Fit instructor and I have been hooked ever since. I have tried many forms of yoga and many different commercial yoga videos, none have been as good to me, as Beth Shaw’s Yoga Fit. She integrates yoga into such a seemless, program, I have never been more comfortable with any other instruction. Check out Beth’s website and see all the instructions she offeres everything, from beginner to advanced and even offers live training all over the country.

They offer it at the college we have but they share the classes with other campues so I wont get to join until April. I hope that I can do it soon. I have it for the vcr but dont get to use it much. I am hoping to buy yoga for the wii soon. But I live in a small town so we dont have much services here like we would love to.

I did Pilates for a while and loved it, but haven’t exercised in …ahem… a few years. I just did some yoga this morning on my new Wii fit, though!

I always want to do yoga, but never seem to sign up. I have the wii fit, so I will be adding yoga to my routine THIS WEEK!! Thanks so much for the push. Once the baby comes (mid-late May) I want to take a mama and baby class.

I like it when I actually do it. My favorite yoga DVD is Candlelight Yoga with Sara Ivanhoe. I love her!

It’s been a long time since I was regular in my yoga practice, but what got me started was a class at the local community college. I got lucky and had a great instructor – for a great price!

I LOVE yoga…I had taken classes with a wonderful instructor. I’ve tried to keep up with it at home, but it’s not the same…but I try. I would love to find a new wonderful teacher but in the mean time I’ll work with the videos at home.

I actually just started Yoga too. I love it! I’m doing The Biggest Loser weight loss yoga, and it kicks my booty. I really enjoy Yoga and want to keep progressing in it.

I’ve done yoga for more than a decade and love it. I’ve used books, magazines (Yoga Journal is one of my preferred ones), DVDs, and attended classes. I did prenatal yoga through both pregnancies (literally to the day of delivery) and I’ve used the YogaKids DVDs with my daughter, as well as Rodney Yee’s family yoga DVD with my husband and daughter.

I’ve tried Pilates but I think it was too soon after C-section #1 as it was really difficult for me and rather painful (which I know it shouldn’t be). So I dropped that and went back to yoga poses that I knew would help me in recovery instead of pushing too far too fast. (Funny how it takes PAIN to make us figure that out sometimes, about not pushing too hard! DUH.)

I do prefer to just do the poses minus any Eastern philosphies (I don’t meditate, I don’t use the mantras, I prefer English terms for the poses (aka asanas) – but in general I feel like yoga is a great crossover for ANY athletic venture. My husband is a runner and weight-lifter, and when I say “yoga” he balks. But when he sees me “stretching”, he’s interested. *chuckle*

I do yoga on my Wii Fit and I LOVE IT! It’s so fun and easy. I love that it’s like having my own personal trainer.

I started doing yoga/pilates w/a dvd years ago. And I am always kinda off and on with it. Once you know the poses it’s easy to just do whenever and wherever.

But a class is the best! I did prenatal and am joining a svaroopa yoga class next week. It’s so much easier, more motivating and you learn more! Have fun!

I’ve tried the dvds at home a few times but honestly, I just prefer to go out for a brisk walk.
