Modo, Day 2

Here is a Yogi:

Here's another:

Those are two of the most popular and beloved yoga gals on social media these days [at least from what I've seen]; I am among their loyal media followers, wholly entranced and jealous of their bendy, flexible beauty and strength. 

Heeeeeeeeeeere... is what the rest of the world looks like during a yoga workout [or more specifically, post hot yoga here in Cincinnati]: 

weeee bit of contrast? 

Hahahaha. It's okay, you can laugh. I totally did when I took this and looked at it. Here's a super cute visual for you: I don't look it, but everything I'm wearing is soaked to the core, kinda like I'd taken a shower in my clothes instead of breathing through various flows for the last hour and fifteen minutes. HAUTE, I KNOW. : /  haha.

Moral of the story, I love my yoga, and know that the only way to improve my practice is to find local instruction from those who've paved the road long before me and can report back.

Day 2 : Success.
