My To-Do list- Achievement #1- I STARTED YOGA!

If you read my My To-Do list blog, you'll see that I wanted to start Yoga- I Started! Ngl though it was from a Youtube tutorial, but at least it's a start!

The reason for starting Yoga- I go to Jiu-Jitsu on a Monday's (and the occasional Wednesday, when I'm not tired from work) and I've found that being flexible is a key strategy when rolling round with the opponent.

LITERALLY MY IDEA OF YOGA

I was embarrassed the other week when we were doing our line drills (shrimping, standing technique etc) when our coach told us to roll back to the end of the mat. I've never done a roll in me life...I was the last person to roll and I got too scared to do it, the pressure of all the girls watching me didn't help. So, my instructor had go sit down and show me how to do it... all my weight was on my neck mid roll- it was the worst pain ever!!! Literally wore a scarf round my next for 4 days because it was stiff as fuck.

EXPECTATION

REALITY

I'm the least flexible person ever, trying to throw your legs over someones head/neck is harder than it looks!!!

I spoke to a few people about other activities I could do to improve my movements in Jits., even Joe Rogan (legendary comic, UFC commentator, Black Belt in Jiu-Jitsu and Yoga fiend) raves about it, so these people obviously know what they're talking about?


I started it, wasn't really fussed on it. I;m going to keep on with it though because it will help long term! I'm going to keep adding to this blog with my progress.... wish me luck!
