Yoga Tone Abs

November 9, 2009 Yoga Session 18
Monday Week 11

Someone told our professor today that we were not doing enough working out on our abs. As funny as it may sound, today i told one of the other yoga girls that i was feeling sore on my upper body and was more flexible and bendy but that my abs and stomach was not getting more tone. Haha i got exactly what i asked for because today we worked out our abs.

We did a lot more boats and core strengthening asanas. It was nice. It was a little more fast paced, but it is the eleventh week i expect it to be...

Like normal we began with Sharkie telling us to notice our breathing, and as soon as i do that i still start counting seconds. But once the routine starts i notice i stop. One of the ab vinyasa we did today really felt like it was working our core and our arms. We started in downward dog and lifted our legs for hold of about 5 breathes...going into runners lunge and then warrior one on the right side. Back in downward dog we held a plank and went from high to low, then we dropped our chest to the floor and did a cobra and into upward facing dog. Back into downfacing dog. The we got up into a forward fold and went into a high chair and we held this almost ten breathes and again followed the vinyasa but with the left side. It really did make me sweat and got me to feel the pull in my abs.
