I went yesterday with all the other wives that are here with their husbands for the summer to Times Square to do the annual Summer Solstice yoga event, and it was incredible!
Our class time was 3:30, so we checked in around 3, and headed to our spot. There were several large areas blocked off all throughout Times Square for different yoga groups, and we had a great spot right in the middle of a big group. There were 8 of us, so we pretty much took up a whole row! The class was a whole hour long, and it was kinda tough since it was my first time doing yoga (I kept falling over when we did the one-legged poses haha!), but I LOVED IT! It felt so good, and it was so peaceful. It was so surreal to be in the middle of Times Square, one of the busiest places in the world, but to be so at peace. I remember one particular moment when we were laying on our backs, and I was looking up and around at all the buildings, and I saw the ball (you know, the ball, the one that drops on New Year's Eve), and it just hit me all at once that I was IN TIMES SQUARE. I was laying on my back, more relaxed than I had been in a long time, in the middle of Times Square! It was a moment I will always remember. And since yesterday, all I can think about is doing yoga! I really loved it! So today, I rolled out my yoga mat (the one we all got for free from yesterday), and did a 20-minute beginner's yoga I found on youtube. I loved it, and I'm going to try to keep it up. :) Namaste ;) R

My friend that teaches yoga is doing a 40 meditation "challenge." It's supposed to break any habit you focus on. I'm doing it with her starting yesterday. You should join us! We can compare notes. 💗
