Power Yoga and Freshman at Purdue

I don't think I have blogged about my power yoga class, yet. At the moment, it is kind of difficult to type because my left hand is still tender from last night's class. I started this class two weeks ago because I figured it was a good use of my Christmas money. Last night we had a sub, and I really enjoyed her teaching style. She really emphasized deep breathing which helped make the class flow easier. Don't get me wrong, the class was challenging! I did a new sequence of plank pose that I didn't even think was possible! Even though I have to work hard in the class, it brings a lot of peace to my life. For the 50 minutes that I am working on yoga poses, the stress of my week just seems to melt away. I can really focus my thoughts on positive things and refocus on my life. Last night at the end of class, my instructor turned off the lights and we were laying on our mats stretching out. It was very quiet, and I was overwhelmed with God's presence. It was so cool being able to praise God while doing something I love.

Today started the Purdue's For Me tours at Hilltop Apartments. I am one of the tour guides, and I lead a group of 15 parents and their students around Hilltop. I love seeing incoming freshman so much! It wasn't that long ago that I was in their place. I remember being so scared and wondering what I had gotten myself into. Fortunately the rain held off for our tour, and I think they really enjoyed it. Most of the kids were pretty quiet, but the parents had some good questions. These tours continue for the next month or so, and I am looking forward to meeting lots of different groups of freshman.

They are calling for another arctic blast to come through this week. Hopefully this will be the last of the bitterly cold air. I am ready for spring to come!
