Yoga Pose May

A couple weeks ago, one of my favorite bloggers, Tina of Carrots ‘N’ Cake, put out a call for bloggers who wanted to participate in Yoga Pose May hosted by her and Kate from What Kate Ate.  Basically every blogger who signed up is assigned a different yoga pose to feature on their blog to encourage more people to practice yoga and reap the benefits of it.

I’m always jealous of people who say they feel so relaxed and loose after yoga. I am NOT one of those people. I always feel like I’ve pulled a muscle or am really exhausted. Clearly, I am not doing something right.

There are a few poses though that I do regularly to stretch myself out after cardio and thankfully, the pose that I was assigned was one of those. I love doing the Cobra pose after a hard ab workout – it stretches out all of my ab muscles.

So presenting, my Yoga Pose May pose: the Cobra

I had this vision of having a really artistic picture with just a silhouette of me and the greenery in the background but unfortunately, I didn’t take into account that I wouldn’t be the one actually taking a picture of myself. But good enough, Sonoko   (My sister who would also like me to add a disclaimer that this post has nothing to do with food.)

I’m going to try to add more yoga into my life because I’m hoping the more I practice, the more I’ll like it.

Make sure to check Beth’s blog this month because she’ll have a more challenging pose to share with you!

What are some of your favorite yoga poses?
