Turn up the intensity this August…

It’s a new month, and that means a brand new challenge.

For August, I’ve got a HIIT (that’s High Intensity Interval Training) challenge for you.

Each daily workout is only 4 to 6 minutes in length.  No equipment required.

Michelle’s story…

Becoming a WARRIOR

Several years ago I came to yoga on my knees (metaphorically, but almost literally).

I was an injured runner, and a more pathetic creature there is not.

In search of something to get my mind off running, and at the same time find a no-impact activity I could actually do with my hairline-fractured pelvis, I discovered yoga.

Conveniently, there was a lunchtime yoga class offered where I was working, so I decided to try it out.

Although I felt AWKWARD and UNCOORDINATED in that first class (and for most of that first year), I noticed that afterwards my body felt RENEWED.
