Ep 38: Yoga for Digital Nomads

On my recent trip to New York, we were walking a LOT. (Living in Bangkok it’s hard to justify the Uber prices in NY! Just saying.)
As we walked, I noticed that my back started to get really sore. Like really sore. I’d have to bend over or sit down to feel better. LAME! I mean I’m 33! (I know, I look good.)
Anyways lately, I’ve been sore getting out of bed too. I figure it’s all the working on the laptop and not exercising. And since I just heard Garrett White talk about his daily 4 parts of his morning routine, I figured, how the heck am I going to get myself to exercise?
I figured a light yoga practice daily was the way to go. I feel much better when I do yoga. I’m by no means good at it or even that interested in yoga itself, but it makes me feel good and my back feels normal again, so here we are.
If you’re looking for something light to do, I recommend Adriene’s Youtube 30 day challenge. I just randomly pick a day and do it. It’s the perfect length and difficulty, and I’m a beginner so you can do it too.
Don’t get stuck behind your laptop! I just throw the yoga mat on the floor of my condo and watch on my laptop.
One more thing — I never actually want to do yoga. Like, never. I know it will make me feel good though, and it’s a part of my routine so I do it.
Don’t think you should want to do it. Or that you should only do it when you feel like it. Do it because it’s a good habit.
Stay emPowered, Beck
