After my yoga class on Sunday night I determined I need a taste of my own medicine! I absolutely love yoga and have been faithfully practicing for about 5 years. 
However, I admit, I haven’t been consistent over the last few months. Between purchasing a condo, the holidays and work I just don’t seem to have enough time in the day. I became a victim of all those excuses I always scold my clients for – “you have to make health a priority in your life an carve out time for yourself” I always say. And I particularly emphasize stretch and flexibility! And for me personally, that means at least one yoga session per week, a chance to get stretched out, refocused, rebalanced and relaxed. Well, about halfway through my class on Sunday, the first class I’ve taken since around New Years, I realized I was hurting! My hips and legs were tight, my shoulders ached and I was sweating like nobody’s business! And today, almost two days later, every muscle in my being hurts! Clearly I need a dose of my own medicine. I need to get back on track and back to my normal routine. No wonder I feel tense and tight and my shoulders feel like they are hitting my ears.
The point of this story? Everyone gets a little off track once in awhile. Sometimes we need a gentle, or not so gentle, reminder about what is important, and that no matter how hectic life is you must take those precious moments for your own health. You will be a better mother, wife, friend, employee, and in my case, trainer.
