LOVE Iyengar. I was introduced to yoga through Iyengar so it's the standard I compare all others (and why I don't love "fitness yoga." Ally David was my instructor for three years. What I would do to be a regular again... Good for you for going through the training! Kara from MamaSweats last blog post..Wii Have One

Thanks for this post, it was just what I needed today. I’m in the middle of my own pity party over my achilles tendonitis that doesn’t want to heal. I’ve decided to take a week off from working out (and tri-training) – and I’m a grumpy mess. But your post today is a great reminder to work some of those areas that I neglect that put no strain on my achilles. Thanks!

I know you said it was painful and hard... but I'm so fascinated to attend a whole class. I went to a short workshop where the teacher just talked about iyengar and showed us a couple things, but it wasn't a full-on iyengar practice. I have attempted to do it a little on my own at times, but I'm never 100% sure if I'm doing it all correct! Jill Will Runs last blog post..Monday Motivation

Strong in front and weak in back is a common gym issue. Especially with men who, left to their own devices, will do nothing but bicep curls and chest press. It's probably a common issue to focus on what you can SEE, and what we can generally SEE in the mirror is our front. Unless we're standing in a changing room we're generally not paying much heed to our backside (guys don't, at least). But we have to remember that without a strong back our front will suffer.
