ONE STEP HEALTHIER.

Hello my lovelies.Hope these first few days of the year have been nothing but wonderful for you.I had a long break and i think i slept for twelve out of the twenty four hours of every day.School has been taking up a lot of my time and i can't wait for graduation(doing my happy dance).
This year is the first i haven't made resolutions at all.Normally,i'd have up to 20 things i wanna do in the new year and sometimes i actually get to all of them.But i decided to do things a little differently this year and see how it goes.So i'm working on anything i need to work on everyday. 
I realized i'm not very fit physically.I'm out of breathe just climbing the stairs and i've been doing that for years! My mum takes long walks every morning and it does help cos when people see her pictures,they think she's my big sister! 
 So i decided to put some more time into getting in shape and i've chosen yoga to start with.I started a couple of years back but stopped after a while and it hasn't been very easy starting again.You should have seen my first proper yoga session... HILARIOUS! Hats off to those who do it well.

I read up on the many health benefits of yoga and some of them are;

• improvement of posture and strengthening of muscles to decrease lower back pain.
•  helps in improving sleep and aids relaxation.
• less stress,increase in endurance and energy levels.

So this is one of the many things i have to do to get healthier and its true what they say...i did feel a little lighter after 30 minutes of yoga.

So what are you doing for your body this year. I hope this inspires you to try something new and very different.

If you fall all over the place like me and you can't sit,raise your legs and touch your toes at the same time,just laugh,relax and try again.We all get better with time.:)
