Well my oh my, I'm getting a lot of messages pertaining to Yoga and I really appreciate them all, thank you so much!
It's so enlightening once you start with my Yoga class, I challenge you to become a true yogi and find how beautiful inside and out you become. Stronger, more flexible, powerful, confident, respectful of yourself, oh the list goes on.
When I first started Yoga I found that the leaves on the trees were more green, the air smelled so sweet! Yes all these things and more! You become alive with your environment no kidding
You are less stressed, and more settled and balanced! I promise you that if you join my class of Yoga the Fitter aspect of it, yes I said it! I'm not into the spiritual side of if I feel that everyone has their own spirituality and I don't need to bombard you with mine. I just want you to be the best you can be and become more fittier than you've ever thought possible!
Yoga is translated as the sun and the moon, the ha and tha, the yen and yang. When you align yourself and protect yourself with yoga you become so balanced and confident in your ability no matter what you are doing!
So I invite to join me KimberleyG with my Fit and Strong Yoga (modifications for those of you who are concerned with an injury or an inablity to flex). No worry Yoga, that's my motto for now!
I can't wait to see you and watch you grow and become the butterfly you were mean't to be!

Becoming the Butterfly You Are Meant to be!
It's hard to imagine that you'll feel good going into some of Yoga poses! But I tell and I promise you that as the blogs grow with info on Hot Yoga and Hatha Yoga in particular, you will begin to hunger to find out for yourself what it's all about!
Do you feel tired and in need of energy sometime throughout the day? Try deep breathing to bring your vitality back. This can be accomplished anywhere and anytime throughout your day!
With the heat up in Hot Yoga and the deep breathing exercise beginning your energy increases two fold; three fold! It's amazing to feel this! Drinking in the warmth, the oxygen moving to all the corners of your body; increasing the capacity and elasticity of your lungs!
Don't be concerned with the heat, our body temperature is at 98.6 so in order to feel the relaxing of the muscles you need to increase the heat above the body temperature. In this way, your muscles will automatically feel relaxed, your tendons and ligaments will not over extend before they are ready. The heat is our friend not our enemy. However, for those of you who feel uncomfortable with their atmosphere heated, it's not the end all! Proper warm up is always important to keep you from over extending, or pulling a muscle! Without heat we just do our Sun Salutations over and over to warm us up as much as the heat would. So rev your metabolism up via heat or warming those muscle without, the end all is the same!
Standing and using your arms to help with this deep breathing begins a task with which you'd be surprised how difficult this maneuver is! But when you finally understand what is meant by "breathing with the throat", Things will quiet down once your throat muscles grow supple.
Stay with me and learn! My next blog will be all about "Breathing with the Throat"!
Watch and learn and be the butterfly you are meant to be!

G's Hot Yoga The Beginning
I'm so excited to finally begin Hot Yoga! It was so warm and cozy and my muscles, tendons and legiments felt so flexible! I can't wait to do it again. The nice thing about this is it allows you to go deeper into your practice. As with any yoga practice you must practice to become proficient within your practice. I always like to think of a class practice as our practice! That is what it is! We begin together and end together everytime, it's totally amazing!
Namaste'
