CORE YOGA !!!!

 

 

For the longest time, I’ve been seriously thinking of  an effective way to be fit. As a well known food and travel blogger, maintaining my normal weight is definitely a struggle. Just imagine visiting various restaurants every weekend! It’s a lot of fun of course however, I also have to look after my health. I’ve been soooo stubborn in dieting the past months and like most people, I find going to the gym to be quite boring. 

 

 

These past weeks, I’ve been feeling so weak and lifeless… my body felt so  heavy and my mood was at an all-time low. I really wanted to do something about it. I wanted to do a worthwhile activity  which would be very meaningful for me so I could also recommend it to people as well.  Good thing my editor-in-chief Vince referred  me to our friends from Core Yoga.  Hmmmm Yoga?  I’ve never tried it before and I heard it’s really hard! I checked out their website and read how yoga is not just an effective way to be fit, but more of a way of life…. Hmmmmmm (curiosity levels rising!). Fortunately, they have a branch near my office (AIC Burgundy Tower, just at the back of Robinson’s Galeria).

 

 

 

I’d like to show you some photos and tell you all about my 1st Vinsaya Yoga experience at Core Yoga …..

When I finally entered the Core Yoga studio, I noticed that the people there were so calm

 

 

 

 

And so the session started…….

I never thought it would be this difficult! 90 minutes of various stretches and poses… inhaled and exhaled from one pose to another… but the nice thing about it was that,  after you get used to it…. you feel more focused.

It’s my 1st ever time to sweat like this… best feeling ever!

 I found myself in tears during the cool down.  unexplainable inner peace!

 

 

 

 I remember feeling so happy and energized after the session to the point that I felt as if my body is  yearning more of it!

 Namaste!

 

 

I never thought those 90 mins would be so full of realizations… It was like getting to know myself all over again.  After that, I noticed I’ve been losing a lot of weight and my mood has improved drastically! I feel more patient and in control of my emotions.  I never thought the benefits would be this great! Definitely more than just the physical !

 

 

Yoga is indeed a way of life for it will grow on you. Yes, it may be hard at first but after going through all the pain, all the ecstasy is just worth it! Personally, I find it to be such an effective way in communing with yourself. I remember feeling soooo alive afterwards! The following day, I noticed huge improvement with my posture. So amazing!

 

Another must try when in Manila!

 

 

Thank You So much to the wonderful people of Core Yoga, to Sir Tristan and Ma’am Rose for this wonderful experience!
