When I first started exercising consistently and seriously, I never gave Yoga much thought. I didn’t think it could help me achieve any of my goals in strength or endurance. This couldn’t have been further from the truth. Practicing Yoga has helped me in my cross-training endeavours in so many ways, but we will save that for another post.
I want to let you know about my wonderful prize. I entered a contest on TheΒ ZenKat’s blog for a yearly membership to The Yoga Collective and I won! At first I thought there must be a catch; contest open to only U.S. residents? Nope, I won!
You see The Yoga Collective is a series of Yoga practices brought to you from a studio in sunny California. The top master instructors offer you a variety of virtual Yoga classes for beginner to advance yogis.
The choices are endless. Your practice can be as short as nine minutes or as long as one hour.
They even offer classes that focus breathing and meditation.
So far I have completed three workouts. One was a meditation session, a Vinyasa core flow (that was very challenging) and a basic flow practice.
It is great to have the option of practicing at home when I can’t make it to the studio and I love the variety of practices, whether I want to wind down before bed with meditation or get in a solid full body flow session.
If looking to practice out of the studio and in the comfort of your own home, I would highly recommend giving The Yoga Collective a visit.
Well done for winning! I use Yogaglo.com for my home yoga. It too is like practicing in a studio!
Thanks. I was so excited. I love the convenience of the online programs.
Me too! There’s no excuse not to roll out the mat!
Congrats on winning The Zen Kat’s giveaway! Love her!!
Thanks Jess. I love the Zen Kat too.
And I love BOTH of you! π
Likewise!
I haven’t been into Yoga too much, but I’ve wanted to be! I just haven’t made time for it. π¦ This looks like such a great option though and I love that I could do it from home! Congrats on winning your membership!
Thanks Melanie. I love my prize so far. It’s awesome. I can’t believe how much strength Yoga has built in my arms, legs and core. It’s also very relaxing after the challenging poses.
Love this and def checking it out!! I also love Yoga with Adriene on Youtube…she’s phenomenal!
Yea it has some very good options. Easy or intense, long or short. I’ll have to look into Adriene. There are so many YouTube videos out there so it’s nice to have a recommendation.
Holy wow! What a great prize to win! You just reminded me I want to revisit some yoga. My cable tv carries an all yoga channel. Who says there’s nothing good on tv π π lol
I know! I was very excited and couldn’t believe because I never win these giveaways.
That’s great you have a channel devoted to Yoga. I find it so helpful with my strength training.
This is great!! People don’t understand how important and vital yoga is to their fitness plan. It really helps having a whole complete body and workout. I recently started focusing “again” on more yoga in my workout regimen. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for your comment. It’s so true. The strength, the flexibility, the breathing. All these things from Yoga have helped me immensely. I was skeptical at first, but now I’m a believer in Yoga!
Awesome review. I’m so glad you liked it too!! The different choices are my favorite part too- that way, you never get bored π
That’s what I love about the classes. Such variety, different intensity levels. Thanks!
