Is Yoga Meant To Be An Endurance Sport?

My yoga practice reminds me to slow down. To breathe, and to enjoy it.
At the same time, this body of mine craves speed! It wants to feel fast on a bike, streamlined in the water, and strong as I pound the pavement.

Without this combination I am not able to find my happy balance between being an over-achieving ball of crazy and a philosophizing flower child.

Tomorrow I’m going to play with that balance even more as I make my way over to Göteborg, Sweden for the Nordic Yoga Conference. On Saturday, I’ll be rocking out on my mat for 6.5 hours (!!) in 5 classes with 5 different instructors. What I’m most excited for is that they will each be leading a different style of yoga, many of which I have yet to try. (Jivamukti here I come!)

So, if you’ll be in Göteborg this weekend too, grab your mat and let’s indulge in this marathon of yoga together.

Big love and gratitude goes to Anja from Yoga Buddhi for hosting me this weekend.
