For a place as special as La Posta Vecchia, just one blog post is not enough! Half of the fun of staying here is just wandering around the property pretending that this is your own private seaside villa. It is the very best place to daydream.
Last summer when we were in Florence, I did not work out for 3 whole months. I would go on very long hilly walks everyday as some substitute for exercise but let’s be honest we all know that’s not the same thing as a yoga class or sweating it out in Shred 415. When I finally got home and started working out again, it was a STRUGGLE. Let.me.tell.you. I basically almost died during my first Shred class back in the US. I laid down in the middle of my yoga class for half the class because I could not move. It was all very dramatic and pathetic really.
So this summer I was determined to find someplace in Florence where I could go to yoga. The best part about yoga is that it’s like Catholic mass, once you know the major movements and the flow, you can walk into any studio in any country and it’s all the same. I found an amazing place called Italian Power Yoga which is literally like a 5 minute walk from our apartment! I bought a pass for a few weeks and am currently so sore from the classes I have taken! Isn’t it insane how much muscle and endurance you can loose from not working out for just a few weeks?! I can’t even believe it. My arms were legitimately shaking during half of the class yesterday. I love that feeling though because it really means you are really working and that your body is changing. I took the day off today because I am so sore but will be back in class for the rest of the week. If you are in the market for a great yoga studio in Florence this is the place to go!
But if you are located in Chicago and are looking for a great yoga studio, then you have to check out the yoga classes at Studio Three on Clark street. I absolutely love any class taught by Katy. She really helped me fall in love with yoga. Truly, my whole body changed as a result of her class. Her yoga class helped sculpt every part of my body in ways that other workout classes just have never been able to do. Plus she makes class so enjoyable and so peaceful. I totally love it and miss it even now!
I am one of those people that HAS to find time to work out and do yoga or else I am all out of whack. Not working out turns me into a crazy person. I am so glad that I found this incredible yoga studio in Florence! If you are in Florence for any amount of time you must check this place out.
