Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior @Yoga+

One of the yoga classes that I usually look forward to is the Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior. I loved the fact that this class is more relax compared to other yoga classes I'd attended to and the meditations and intentions set before the class starts would inspire you and help you to go through the poses no matter how difficult it is without fearing of failure. I just enjoy and savor all the asanas and helped me appreciate my achievements and accept my limitations. So after almost 1.5months (I started June 14) of attending yoga classes, I was able to do my first headstand (but with the assistance of course of our instructor..hehe!). I've been wanting to do this pose ever since day1 and achieving this is one of the things  I am looking forward to. So I was really happy that teacher Nancy assisted me in doing this pose. And although I fell (quite hard!) on the floor, it really elated me that I was able to accomplish this. But still I am hoping (and I know it would still be a long way) before I could do it on my own.

Yoga+ Ortigas

Since one of my resolution for this year is to focus more on my health, aside from being watchful on my diet, I also decided to enroll in a yoga class. I know that this could also help a lot in my asthma and scoliosis problem. Scouting for a studio nearest to my office is not much of a challenge since there are lots of gym/studio existing in Ortigas area. However, one of my concern is the schedule of classes/sessions because I need to factor in my time at work and the time that I need to be home especially that my son's school already started. So that's why I chose Yoga+ Studio (Ortigas) because aside from its proximity to my office (roughly around 8-min walk), they have several classes throughout the day that I can conveniently choose if my schedule permits me.

If you're a beginner (just like me who is totally zero experience in yoga), they offer 1-week unlimited trial class worth P1000 or an unlimited 1-month for P3000. Fee includes unlimited yoga classes (you may check their website for their weekly class schedule), free use of yoga mats, free water (just bring your own bottle), and they also offer free use of towels. They also have a really nice and well-maintained shower area (toiletries included). They also have a branch in BGC, Taguig City and next month they'll be opening another branch in Makati.
