Bali is where we first realized the similarities between surfing and yoga. That’s super exciting you went for being a yoga teacher! It is a lot to handle but luckily it seems that blogging, traveling and yoga are pretty universal these days. :-)

Thanks Anne! I’m so glad to have recently discovered your blog, and I know it will prove a huge inspiration to me on our travels! I think that’s one reason why I am so in love with yoga at the moment- discovering the mental and spiritual benefits as well. I felt similarly when we trained for our first marathon, but after I sort of felt a void that wasn’t filled by just an hour of cardio. I love how yoga is a lifestyle. I’m still learning a lot of the basics, but I look forward to the journey :)

I was actually shocked to look at the rates that some private teaches are charging. If you can find an affordable one though, it does make a huge difference, especially for someone like me accustomed to having no teacher :)

That’s awesome! And you are so right about it going well with travel. That’s actually one of my new goals, to really actively seek out yoga classes abroad. Now that you mention it, I can’t remember the last time I went to a gym! I’ve never though about it complimenting scuba diving, though that makes perfect sense!

Haha we did! Her voice was so lovely :) If you are thinking about getting started online, I recommend yogatoday.com It’s $9 a month, but you get unlimited access to their free classes which I find are really, really good. They also have a 9 class beginner series for people who have never done yoga before, and a 30 day free trial if you just want to try it!

You’re right- it is definitely a lifestyle! An instructor makes all the difference (especially if you get a good one!). I definitely couldn’t do a headstand before!
