Living Yoga

Last weekend I got a certification in Spectral Yoga and Cycling.  Spectral fitness is a unique new way of health and wellness created by Christina Leon, the director of Spectral Journeys, and brings holistic fitness to health clubs.  Now, this is something that at first seemed way too hokey for me, but after experiencing it I’m now excited about this new, positive way of experiencing group fitness.

Christina’s Colorgized program combines color healing, chakra awareness and positive affirmations to make for a powerful mind/body experience in yoga (or spin, pilates, meditation).  In a class, different colored lights and images are used combined with affirmations and exercises that correspond with the various chakras.

For me the Spectrum classes were very powerful and uplifting, reminding me that I originally began working out because of personal issues I wanted to overcome and the physical connections to those issues.  It also reminded me of how much I have overcome and how my physical body has changed along with my life.  It also just felt damn good.

The Colorgized program is gaining more popularity, so be on the lookout for Spectrum fitness classes at a health club near you.  Visit spectraljourneys.com for more info.
