Updating my progress

IMG_2216
Last week I got a couple vaccinations in order to prepare for my trip. Nothing is technically required when visiting India, but I updated my typhoid and started the HepA&B series. I received a tetanus shot a couple years ago when I split my shin open in Ibiza, but that's old news.

As I prepare for my practice in Mysore, I am doing as much yoga as possible. Starting back up at work has made it a bit difficult to practice 6 days a week but I am usually at least getting in 5. I will occasionally do some cardio as well, but I've stopped running altogether. My last big race was the Houston Half-Marathon last year and since then the longest I have run is about 5 miles. Since running tightens the muscles, I prefer to lay off so I can get the most out of my yoga practice.

I didn't know you were going to India! Where and when are you visiting!

Ooh, it's so exciting to be in the preparation phase! I love this picture, too.

Planning for a trip is so much fun, and I am impressed at anyone who can do a headstand. I am terrible at anything in yoga that requires good balance.

Awesome headstand! I can't wait to hear about your experiences. I've been considering finding a yoga class for years and every time you post about it, my interest is renewed. One of these days!
