When you think of
yoga, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? Easy? Spiritual?
Relaxing? Well the answer depends on what kind of yoga you do but one things
for sure, it doesn't come easy. I believe that to excel in anything you do,
hard work and consistency is required. No one is born flexible, neither are they born
with immense strength. Likewise for yoga, it takes
practice to hone your skills.
A couple of months
ago I tried out yoga for the first time. As a runner I wanted something which
could aid in my fitness and at the same time help with my flexibility. I found
the perfect solution by going for the Triple Threat Boot camp at The Yoga Co. The
Triple Threat Bootcamp, TTB is well known for its intensity exercises. It's a
mixture between Crossfit and yoga, giving you the best of both worlds. Let's
just say it wasn't as easy as I thought.

Over the course of
my practices, I've learned to respect the instructors so much more. Their each
and every pose tells a story, each with long hours of practice and experience.

I'm a chiropractor who has also practiced Yoga going on nearly 2 decades now. I find that the two disciplines really work quite well together: when you go in for regular chiropractic care, it not only improves your physical well being, but it also helps you hone your focus and be much more "still" and in the moment. This heightened stillness improves one's yoga, and it all works together harmoniously.
