Unwinding
Since I started crossfit, I’ve always looked for ways to improve my overall health. If there was a movement I was having trouble with, I always searched internet wide for accessories to whatever exercise I wanted to improve, since I was with most bodyweight exercises having no equipment of my own. I found myself doing specific stretches commonly used in yoga but targeted for crossfitters. and basically that is how I got into yoga to compliment crossfit at that time.
I had done martial arts during high school so I my flexibility wasn’t that bad, but needed improvement. Yoga came pretty natural to me, especially since I have specific goals in mind and I knew yoga will help me get there, so I dedicated more time to yoga than working out. Sometimes as a warm up, post workout and on active recovery days.
Like everything I started from Zero, I’ve never been to a yoga class, even though I’ve been tempted many times to at least join a group, but for some reason I always dismissed that idea, its been little more than 3 years since I started doing yoga, and I’ve yet to enter a yoga studio or taken a yoga class. There is no shortage of knowledge online for anything you need, even though its obviously recommended you seek a professional but if you have the determination to do anything you’ll achieve anything.
If you love something you will teach yourself, if you don’t love it others will teach you.
