Yoga, golf, and dancing like nobody’s watching

Before covid-19 I did most of my exercise on the treadmill at the gym in our building, but after covid-19 my workout habits have changed drastically. Nowadays I prefer exercising at home in front of the tv. I have signed up for Yoga Barn Online, so I have access to a seemingly never-ending supply of yoga and meditation classes from beautiful Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali. I usually do Yin yoga or yoga Nidra right before bedtime, but sometimes I also take a yoga break during the day to get away from the computer screen for a while and clear my thoughts.

When I feel like getting my heart rate up, I look around YouTube for dance workouts. I have never been a good dancer (that’s actually an understatement. I seriously suck), because I don’t have any rhythm in my body. As a matter of fact, I have avoided dance classes because I didn’t want to distract other people with my weird out-of-sync moves. Though in front of the TV, I’m only distracting myself, so I can really let loose and do my ugly dance:) I really like the Popsugar dance videos with Keaira, but the dance workouts with Pamela Reif are also good and very easy to follow.

In the morning I play golf, and I try to go and practice every weekday. I get up at 5am and have a nice long breakfast while going through my inbox and planning the day ahead. At 6am I am off to the driving range, which is almost empty at this time of the day. Hitting balls while watching the sun rise is such a soothing experience, and to me it is the perfect way to start the day.
