A Public Apology
Dear Yoga,
I’m sorry.
I’m sorry I neglected you for so long.
I’m sorry I secretly thought you were really boring.
I’m sorry I didn’t close my eyes and sit still during meditation.
I’m sorry I didn’t think you could strengthen and tone my muscles.
I’m sorry I let that huge dude in the white pants who kept grunting with each pose, scare me away from class.
I’m sorry I was afraid to admit I didn’t like you, because it seemed like yet another blogger fail.
Thank you for taking me back. As it turns out, I just needed Jillian Michaels to help kick my butt into yoga-shape.

It’s not the 30-day Shred… but I’m pretty sure my body is going to be sore tomorrow.
Jillian Michaels: Yoga Meltdown” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>This dvd is great if you’re looking to get the benefits of yoga (like flexibility, balance, toned muscle) but can’t stand the “slow” parts (for me, that’s the sitting and breathing with my eyes closed.) There are two levels, 30 minutes each, and they do a great job of incorporating cardio with yoga movements. (Think lots of lunging and movement into poses.) I can get my yoga on without feeling like I’m slacking off. I didn’t think level 2 was that much more difficult than level 1, but its nice to have a variety.
Besides, I want to be able to take awkward, blurry pictures like this one, when I’m like 60.

Super cute photo 🙂
I’ve tried yoga, but yeah, just ddn’t get into it.
I’m so not like lots of other bloggers. I HATE running, & i don’t like yoga. But, that Jillian Michaels version just might make me want to try it again. 🙂
I have never really given yoga a go. I am planning to start a begginers basic yoga class this semester at my gym….I just may have to get this video for home use since I sometimes can’t work my schdule around their classes 🙂
This one is great because it’s only 30 minutes and there are 2 levels! It’s great for people like me who can’t sit still!
augh I used to be a hard core yogini. I remember going to hot yoga classes 4X a week and then slowly I just started going less and less. Booo.
I’m going to a class today though, I just decided. Time to get back into it 🙂
I’ve heard yoga meltdown is killer. I so want it!
YAY! Good luck going back! I know it’s hard to get back into the routine, but I’m sure your body will thank you 🙂
haha so funny. I love yoga, but for the longest time I just didn’t get it. I think it helps to find the right class (or in your case video) to really feel the magic. I’ll have to try that DVD!!
Ah I’m not a yoga fan… or I shouldn’t say that. I haven’t found the RIGHT yoga for me. if that makes any sense. Maybe I should try Jillian’s dvd!
It’s great if you want a more intense, fast paced workout! It’s only 30 minutes long, but it’s intense!
Hahaha I love that photo! I’d be super impressed to see you doing that pose at 60!
I have tried pilates..found it boring but still dig out my DVD from time to time x
I can’t usually sit through (or rather, work through) a pliates or yoga dvd. I just get so BORED! I’m not a sit and breathe kind of girl 😉 This one definitely gets your heart pumping! And it’s short enough (like 30 minutes) that my attention span can totally handle it!
I always enjoy yoga whenever I do it, but it seems like I rarely get a chance to– I always forget about incorporating it in my routine haha 😀
And I wanna be able to do that when I’m 60 too woo!
Ummm hello rubber band girl!! I love jillian yoga dvd, because its more of a workout than a breathe and relax kind of thing (which ISNT my thing) I actually have Bob Harpers yoga dvd and it is KILLER. Its an hour of pure hell, so I usually do about 45 minutes before my legs give out lol
Haha oh man, I totally need to try Bob’s! I definitely like that the Jillian Yoga isn’t a sit and breathe thing. That’s SO not my thing!!! I need movement, sweating, and next-day-soreness 😉
I just recently started getting back into yoga. I love it! I prefer going to a studio, but just cannot afford so getting motivated at home is hard. But been trying my best.
I feel the same way! If I do it on my own at home, I normally feel like I’m going to just fall asleep… Jillian’s workout is awesome though! It’s fast paced and short enough for my attention span 😉
I’ve tried yoga few times and keep saying I want to add it to my workout routine. And I thought about trying Jillian’s yoga DVD. 🙂
It’s a really good one if you’re normally a little…bored… by yoga!
