You’re hearing from a former Yoga skeptic. Yep. I’ve crossed over to the other side. I’m not a lululemon-wearing Yogi just yet, but after a pleasantly surprising free week of Yoga at CorePower, I will be making the leap to attempt a Yoga practice that works for me based on what I learned this week.

In one week of doing Yoga, I connected with girlfriends a total of four times, exercised five times and was able to quiet my mind and focus my thoughts on others and how I can be a better human. Activities that combine physical, mental, spiritual and human connection are a win in my book, and something worth the investment of my time and money.
