“Walking to work minding my business and I run into this! I guess I will be attending class tonight!”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beautiful and inspiring shot of a Time Square Yoga class on the last day of spring and the first steamy day of the summer of 2012.<\/p>\n
Whether you are inspired to move by Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi or simply moving with the resistance of weights, the graceful reminders to move with purpose, flow and full core engagement<\/em> is the real reason we all exercise anyway.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [su_button url=”https:\/\/clients.mindbodyonline.com\/ASP\/home.asp?studioid=29926″ target=”blank” style=”soft” background=”#efcf2d” color=”#352e2e” size=”5″ wide=”yes” center=”yes” radius=”0″ text_shadow=”1px 0px 0px #d3d3d3″]<\/p>\n [\/su_button]<\/p>\n If you enjoyed reading this post, resonated with it and smiled a bit, feel free to share! \u00a0<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [tabs effect=”fade” opentab=”0″ ]<\/p>\n [tab title=”What’s Your Motivation?”]<\/p>\n Seeing the images this morning reminded me of a few other Times Square images I filed away back in\u00a0during a widespread blackout<\/a>\u00a0caused by the power grid outage in 2003. \u00a0The contrasts, I thought were pretty powerful (no pun intended.) Not to mention the expenditure of energy depicted in each of the images.<\/p>\n [\/tab] <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Not a happy face in the space! But then who the heck could be happy stuck to each other inside a tunnel. \u00a0Commuting sucks big time! \u00a0This is why I am reminded how much I love my job teaching and how much I must give to support students who are motivated to exercise after enduring this to get to an evening class.<\/p>\n [\/tab] <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The “Down Dog” stretch is the best back, leg and calf stretch I know. \u00a0The last element of a Pilates Mat class and sometimes the first element in a Yoga class.<\/p>\n The sea of bodies in Times Square enjoying this stretch speaks volumes to its worth in practice.<\/p>\n [\/tab]
