I know what you’re thinking – eight yoga classes in seven days? Why? Is that healthy? Isn’t that a little…obsessive? Yoga is totally healthy to do at least once a day.

I started off my Saturday morning in a Yoga Sculpt class with Sunny. This was the first Saturday morning Yoga Sculpt class I’ve been to where the entire room wasn’t completely packed.

Tonight was another double dose of yoga with Sunny at CorePower Yoga. My husband and I took Sunny’s Hot Power Fusion class at 4:30 and then stayed for her Yoga Sculpt class at 6PM.

Sunny’s Hot Power Fusion class tonight was probably the most fun I’ve ever had in a yoga class. I don’t say that statement very lightly either. I love me some yoga and have taken a number of yoga classes over the years. This class was by far one of my absolute favorites. It was still […] Read more…
