Yogi... the bear??

I have been studying and reading up on the best ways to strengthen my core and my back once I am done with physical therapy. I know that I will need to continue getting stronger and a strong core will help with back pain. Many articles and people have told me that yoga will be my cure all. I never thought that yoga would be something I would try. To me, it never seemed like it would be much of a workout or a calorie burner. But now I am looking to be strong and healthy and not a skinny mini! I am very excited to try something that, from what I understand, will be great for both mind and body.

That being said, I got to do a little shopping! I had to be prepared for my new adventure so I got a sassy yoga mat in my favorite color orange (that I am also using for physical therapy) and a Beginners Yoga DVD. I won't be able to start for a few more weeks but I am really looking forward to it.

I really love the tree branch design on my new mat!
