Charissa
Hello everyone! My name is Charissa and i just turned 26 in July. Right
now the hats I wear include girlfriend, sister, daughter, and 4-H leader.
Hopefully as the year goes on I'll be able to add grad student to that
list.
I'm going to keep this bio short for now, as I'm a little preoccupied with
preparing for a two week backpacking trip with my mom. I leave tomorrow
(Aug 22nd) and will get back on September 7th, so I won't have any posts
until then. We both hope this trip will be more than mother/daughter bonding
time, as we are setting aside a lot of time for meditation and yoga. I
can't wait to share more pictures with you as the year goes on, and I'm
excited by what I've seen so far. What an amazing community of women! Take
care and I'll see you all in a few weeks!

Hi Charissa! There's a lot of happiness in your bio pic - nice shot. I practice Bikram yoga...it's been life changing for me since I started a few years ago. What type of yoga do you practice? Enjoy your trip w/ your mom. Looking forward to seeing your pics.

Hi, Charissa. I've recently begun practicing yoga as well, and would be interested in finding out more about your experience. I practice a mixture of yin and restorative yoga.
I took yoga for a couple years for college pe credit. It was mostly Hatha yoga. We had Bikram days, and I still love those flows, but there was a lot of other stuff mixed in. I've been experimenting with more meditative breathing techniques lately, expecially for back pain management. I love the way it feels. I taught my mom the sun salutation flow on our trip, which we did almost every morning. It's amazing how much it opened our bodies up before we put our packs on.
