60 min yoga
I went to RYAH for their lunchtime vinyasa class today. I walked in, rolled out my mat, and glanced up at the teacher. NO! Remember the mm hmm lady? Well I totally forgot she teaches the Friday lunch class. D’oh! Thankfully she kept her “mm hmms” to a minimum.
Time for Friday Favorites – Music Edition!
Pearl Jam
Love, love, love Pearl Jam…and have since high school. I’ve seen them close to 20 times. No lie. When they come to Philly (or in the surrounding area) I often go to at least 2 shows. I’m in the fan club (super fan!) so I’m eligible for pre-sale tickets and can get some pretty good seats. And don’t get me started on Eddie Vedder. Saw him solo = amazing show!
For a really long time, I didn’t like any other bands. I would just listen to Pearl Jam. I’m making more of an effort these days to listen to the radio so I’m “in the know” musically. I rely on my friends Michelle and Trish to tell me what is “cool”. I don’t know what songs Katy Perry sings and I only know a few Lady Gaga songs (and this is all because of Michelle and Trish). Matt says I haven’t updated my iPod since 2005!
A few months ago I found a band (well Matt started listening to them first) that I love almost as much as Pearl Jam (no worries Eddie, you’ll always be number 1)…the Airborne Toxic Event!
Airborne Toxic Event
This band has been around for awhile but, as I already stated, I’m a little slow in the music arena. I cannot get enough of them! Matt and I went to the Keswick Theater last June to see them and they were incredible. I have been looking all over for a chance to see them again and found out they are playing at the Trocadero in May. YEAH! Actually, Matt was going to surprise me with tickets but I heard about it on the radio and ruined the surprise. BOO!
I don’t have a 3rd favorite band…yet. Maybe after I listen to the radio some more I’ll find one…
Have a great Friday!
Ahhh, yoga! So, I just got a yoga dvd for endurance athletes. I totally neglect my flexibility when running and am going to incorporate this!!
I think it makes such a difference. I haven’t been doing yoga long but I see the benefits already!
PEARL JAM!! LOVE!!
OMG. I can’t stand when yoga teachers have a verbal ‘tick’… drives me up the wall. It’s already hard for me to focus in yoga and when the teacher is yapping some crazy-talk, the class drags.
There’s this one teacher at the studio that I go to that says this a hundred times a class… and the way she says it gets me every time. Imagine a thick Midwest accent….
‘Breeeeeeeeeathe iiiiiiiiiiin. Breeeeeeeeeeathe ooooooooooout.’
Ugh.
