A Frigid Saturday: Well+Good NYC Yoga for Athletes

Even though it’s Saturday, and our double date didn’t end until well after midnight, I was up by 7:30 this morning. Waking up for a fun workout made it a lot easier to get out of the warm, comfortable bed. It is a blustery, cold day in New York City.

After a frigid 15 minute walk, I was welcomed into the warm heat of Jack Rabbit Sports.

Well+Good NYC was hosting their second Yoga for Athletes in partnership with Jack Rabbit Sports and YogaWorks.

The store transforms into a hard wood yoga studio for an hour of stretching and relaxation. We had far more space this time since the nice folks at Jack Rabbit moved all the racks to the back of the store. There were no arms hitting racks today during our practice!

The hour practice was once again lead by YogaWorks senior instructor, Elizabeth Neus. A past marathoner, her class focuses on the entire body but spends the most time on the hips and legs. My favorite thing about this class is that it truly feels like a Saturday morning treat. Not a sticky bun or maple syrup covered waffle treat but a spa day or extra few minutes in bed treat. A single drop of sweat isn’t seen during the class and it truly is 60 minutes of stretching and relaxation. These legs and my sacrum were especially happy after today’s class!   Thank you Well+Good, JackRabbit, and Elizabeth for a great, free class! If you’re interested in joining the next yoga class, check out this website with more information.

After the class I headed back into the cold for an hour of sweat at Equinox . Since Sara is under the weather, I was on my own this week. I did 3 miles on the treadmill (6.2 speed) before joiningCorey Hill’s Core Upper Cuts and Ab Blast.

I was starving after my workout as I didn’t eat breakfast before. Stupid decision! Luckily, my Equinox also features a delicious cafe which has a great and reasonably priced salad bar. My favorite crunchy chip made an appearance in today’s weekend lunch: Food Should Taste Good’s Sweet Potato chips. I forgot how much I loved these!

I couldn’t be happier that the weekend is here. I’m currently curled up on the couch in my favorite winter lounge wear ready to enjoy the rest of the day!
