I spent all of June traveling like some hotshot jet setter. Lawlz. First, I joined my family in Israel to celebrate my youngest sister's bat mitzvah. That was a unique experience to say the least! It was a very active trip, but my dad and I upped the ante a little with light jogs through the old city of Jerusalem and conducting yoga classes for the other members on our tour! Considering I was eating enough hummus to singlehandedly support the entire industry, these extra workouts were key. Check out the sweatastic memories below!
Jogging through the old city was a moving experience that's hard to verbalize. Feeling the cobblestones under my feet as I jogged through such a holy place was very powerful. It was very trippy to think about how many generations of people had run through these alleyways. The yoga sessions were also very meaningful. My dad and I took turns leading a few of our friends from our tour every morning in Eilat. We would practice on a pier that was smack dab in the middle of Israel and Jordan. Yoga is so peaceful and it felt very special to practice it between these two countries, staring at both of their flags.
After Israel, I went to Seattle where I laughed, drank, ate, had the most lovely time and gained about five pounds:) Happy pounds!
Now I'm back to the school grind and am trying to get back into my old good habits. I've been exercising about five days a week which, frankly, isn't enough for me and I've been trying to not get too frsuterated with my decreasing abilities. Right now I can't afford as many yoga classes as I'd like, and that's really throwing me off my game. I think practicing at least five days a week keeps me feeling groovy- without it I feel a little lost. Luckily, I just started a new job so hopefully I'll be back in the studio soon! My job is at an ice cream parlor...so great but so dangerous! Can't ever go to work hungry!
On final note, look what J and I did last Friday! Thanks Lululemon!
Peace, love, sweat xoxo SR
