So, I don't know if you guys have noticed, but I've really gotten into yoga a lot since last year. Any kind of yoga really. A lot of my friends do it and watching them really made me want to get into it. I love to be active, I love to move my body. I took dance classes and did sports a lot in my high school years. I go to the gym quite often, but when I can't, I would love to do something at home as well. The one person who gave me a big push in particular was my good friend, Arisa. She actually was my private student when I first met her. She was a friend of a student who introduced us. I only taught her for about a year but we still keep in contact with each other and often hang out. She's a yoga instructor! She has such a beautiful form so this is definitely her kind of field. Anyway! In the beginning of 2019, she told me that she had nobody to go with to try out sup yoga. I didn't know what that was at first, but judging by pictures, it looked like a lot of fun...challenging, but fun. In case you guys don't know, sup means "stand up paddle surfing". And you pretty much get on a surfboard and do yoga on it. I agreed to take a lesson with her and we went during the summer. I'm super glad I did. It was so much fun! And that was the start of me wanting to take on more yoga. After that, we even decided to go aerial yoga during the winter which was a bigger challenge since you have to have a lot of upper and lower body strength. But it always feels so good to accomplish something like this afterwards. It's definitely rewarding.
