I Love it When I Get the Bind
Took to the mat for another Ashtanga class. I learned how to bind one of the poses. Woohoo! I can't wait until the next class to do it on my own.

Another Try of Soulcycle
I huffed down to Soulcycle to try out Intro to Bands. The bands hang from the ceiling and in between spin sessions you work your arms by pulling down on them. Interesting concept. Wasn't sure if I was working the bands correctly, we shall see tomorrow how much damage I may have done.
Place:
SoulCycle - Tribeca
Feat Accompli!

More Ashtanga
Another round of Ashtanga 1.5. Still in love with this class and still a challenge. I think I may have bruised my toe on a clumsy jump out to chaturanga. Need to watch that.

The Beast - Session 1
Woke up early (for a Saturday) and headed over to Chelsea Piers for the first of three Beast sessions. Gerald is great. Me, not so great. We will see how I'm feeling tomorrow.

Never get tired of Ashtanga
Each class I find I can do at least one thing I couldn't do in the last. Today I almost bound in one of the poses. There was feet hand touching. Not full binding, but perhaps that will happen next class.

A little intenSati to start the month off
I started March off with an intenSati workout hoping to ring in a month of profound inspiration. We shall see.

Sad Sad Day
I went to a class with my favorite yoga instructor. The class was great as always, but then at the end of the class the instructor announced he was moving to San Francisco. How depressing. His classes inspire me. I am going to miss him. Thankfully, he doesn't leave until April 1st. I'm still sort of hoping it's an early April fool's joke.

Beware of a Ukrainian Woman with a Bosu
I had a personal training session at Rich Barretta Private Training with Lyubov Kornilova. She's a three time Ukrainian national fitness champion. She has a fondness for the bosu ball. I have done very little with the bosu, but through my session I learned several balancing acts to tone the lower body and core. It didn't seem like I was doing much, but I felt it for days after.

Pure Yoga continues to be pure bliss
I really love this place. I wish it was closer to my house and a wee bit cheaper. I tried a class with Scott Harig. Really liked his flow. Plus he played the best music. I wish the room was hotter, but I sweat even when the room isn't hot.

Does taking an aerobic class count? No machines or weights are used but you are led through the exercises.

I'm really disappointed I had to miss this. Hope there is another gathering in New York soon.

This is great.
I've been trying other gyms and feeling dirty about it. But there have been an influx of new members at my gym and I have felt a little betrayed which eases the guilt.

Maybe think of her like Jillian from Biggest Loser, she's doing the bad cop motivational trainer thing.

Thanks for the tip! I got there at 4:45pm for the spin class and the remaining slots that weren't taken online were already gone. I was first on the waitlist, hovered and luckily got a spot.

Interesting. Yes, has to be the same Amrit. I really enjoyed his class. He's very bendy.

Oliver, so sorry I missed you today. I got in a zone and spaced on looking for the guy in the SW tee.
Thanks again for getting me the spot, I really enjoyed it. Amazing experience!
