hi girls-- last day of school today for alec so I am leaving early this afternoon to help them set up before graduation. he is playing violin and singing with the a cappella group. graduation ceremonies are always kind of bittersweet for me. happy for the school year to be over, but still can't believe how quickly it all goes. at the end of today I am mom to a junior, a freshman and a seventh grader: how did that happen?
anyway, next week all the kids are off and then their string program starts on father's day, of all things. one week until sheer craziness...
so today my ankle still seems like it is on the mend. I am thinking of some all out l.i. hiit-- wondering if I should avoid the step section, though. and then I will add something on to it. will see how it goes.
so travis Elliot studied with bryan kest and actually teaches at his power yoga studio in santa monica. now, that makes sense. I thought his teaching style seemed very similar, but the voice does get me. I am sure he is a great teacher, though
eva-- hope the kickball game was fun! are you guys having nice weather? seems so many are stuck in clouds and rain (or big storms!). it is still cool-- low 60s-- with no sun around here. hope it was a good time and you had sunny skies
Melissa-- so where do you do the Hiit run? outside or on the treadmill? just curious as when we travel to the north shore, I typically go out early in the morning and do what I call tabata runs. I jog some and then stop and do moves to really up my heart rate (all stolen from cathe). anyway, just wondering what that was.
renee-- you are far braver than me for trying yoga naked. I can only imagine what my neighbors would think of me then! they already hear me working out and practicing yoga all the time, and get treated to all the kids' string practice. dogs barking, etc. they would really think I was a nut-- which maybe I am. ashtanga is actually a form of vinyasa (which is basically flow) yoga. it is more rigid in that it has a primary series (which is what most people practice) a secondary and a third series-- it may even have more, but the asanas are so ridiculously difficult, I don't think many people practice them. I like it in that the moves are always the same and so once you commit it to memory, it is really like a moving meditation. shiva's vinyasa yoga is fun though, too, as it is more fluid and lets me do something different then the set practice of ashtanga. does that make sense?
ladylep-- hope you are doing well!
better get moving and on with the day.
peace,
katie
