Sunrise Yoga with Trina

If you missed Trina’s Sunrise Yoga at the Beach this last time around, it’s your lucky day because word on the street is that she is going to do it again. We met up at the studio and carpooled to the beach.

We had SUCH an amazing time!! Being a California native AND growing up in the area, I had never been to El Matador beach area, and it was simply perfect for yoga. The waves were crashing, the weather just a bit overcast and cooling, and the movement, completely hypnotic.

Both Trina and Gretta instructed the course, Gretta leading and doing poses for the intermediate to advanced practitioner, and Trina doing the modified poses for beginners. It was truly ideal for all levels! After our Hatha yoga routine, Gretta followed it with some light Pilates to really get our abs worked out, and ended with a deep meditation and visualization exercise, while we laid on our mats and listened to the waves crash on the rocks. Bliss!!!

After class was over and we came back to the present moment, Trina had some refuel snacks of gala apples, yummy yogurt and vanilla & strawberry granola bars and a cold bottle of water. We ate, relaxed, visited and took photos…a perfect, PERFECT Sunday afternoon!

We carpooled back to Bodyworks Studio, and I was super excited to go home, shower up and watch the Laker playoff game 7. Right before halftime, while still in my robe and freshly moisturized, I fell asleep into the deepest slumber I have EVER taken. DUDE. Through the WHOLE halftime show, the ENTIRE 2nd half AND the aftergame interviews and shows. I even slept through the Locker Room interviews, which has NEVER happened. I woke up with slobber all over my face and feeling completely brand new. I never really realized how powerful getting your body balanced can be! I can’t wait for the next one – I just hope it’s not on the morning of another important Laker game haha!!
