last dec 15, burnz invited me to join the foundations vinyasa class at yoga hub, conducted by the owners of urban ashram, lasse and maricar. its a workshop where they showcased the yogaworks method of teaching yoga. you'll definitely be inspired by this couple when they talk about yoga and how it changed their lives for the better. aside from conducting workshop with us, they are also inviting those who are interested to teach yoga to enroll with them.  by the way, burnz and jennifer (owner of yoga hub) are graduates of urban ashram, where they took their yogaworks teacher training course for a month. here's our ganap during this session. :)

this particular class is composed of seasoned yoga practitioners and teachers. this is one tough class. definitely, there's pressure to do each pose correctly. also, its my first time to be in a 1 hour and 30 minute yoga class, my gad! hahaha... thank God, i was able to finish the whole session successfully. whew! of course, with a little bit of side comments. hahaha! di ko kinaya ang half moon pose! but wait, hindi ako nag-iisa na naout-of-balance, so ok lang. lol :) i was sweating all over after the class, pati ang leggings ko, super basa sa pawis, sobra! i was bathing with my own sweat, literally! it was one very good class.. ang gaan ng feeling ko after, feeling ko bumait ako.. hahaha :) here's the rest of our kembot during the workshop. :)

here's more of my bonding session with my yogamates. alam nyo, feeling ko, mabait lahat ng tao na nandito sa class na ito. they were not selfish to share smiles with me and the rest. :)

ui, etong nakablack nike shirt on some of the photos above, crush ko siya! his name is francis. i find him cute and i can sense that he has a nice aura and disposition in life... if he reads this, he'll know! well, prangkahan na! its almost 2013 na! hahaha :) during our warrior pose, i noticed that his arm is not straight. since our hands are both in reach due to the tight positioning of our mats, i assisted his arm by touching his hands and lifting it a bit. ay, he grabbed my hands din and he smiled. oh diba, so kilig?!! hahaha! wala lang, cute lang i-recall ang mga pangyayari. hahaha :)

last dec 12, burnz invited me to her yoga class at citigym, waterfront hotel. she teaches yoga there every wednesday. the space is airconditioned. i was a member of citigym before but due to a harrassment incident that i've encountered before from a maniac, i didn't renew my membership. and now, im back! what i love about hotel gyms is because of the fact that they have hot and cold shower. they really have decent amenities that you can take advantage of that is beneficial to your health. one of which is the sauna. i love sauna! :)... anyways, a beautiful view of the hotel's greenery can be seen outside of the studio. here, i met some yoga enthusiasts as well. sorry, wasn't able to take pics of my classmates during this session. im still feeling their aura! hahaha... here's our kembot during this session. :)

going to yoga studios allows me to widen my social network. charot! really, it does. like this time, when i visited my yogi's mother yoga studio, Ananda Marga Yoga Center. this yoga studio is located at Ramos St., Cebu City. what i like about this place is that they use open air when doing yoga. its not an air-conditioned studio, which is really ideal for yoga. here, i was able to meet and mingle with fellow yoga practitioners. my apologies but i wasn't able to take pix during our yoga routine. the only pose we did that was captured by my digi cam was during our savasana pose (corpse pose), and its the last pose prior to ending our yoga routine! hahahaha... anyways, here's our kembot during that day. :)

after sweating a lot from our yoga session that day, we then are treated with food! this is the only yoga studio that offers free food every after yoga session! and the dish served that day was arrozcaldo. in ananda, they dont use garlic and onions when cooking any dish! kakaloka! hahaha... they say that these spices lessens memory retention. im not so sure if there's a scientific study to support this claim. anyways, even without the garlic and onion, the arrozcaldo still tastes great, as in! here's our lafangan ganap. :)

its the first time i did yoga on a saturday morning! it was indeed refreshing. as a colleague of mine said, yoga makes you mabait! hahaha... i agree! lol ... so, tara na, mag-yoga na tayo! try it and feel the difference. :)

tight hugs,
