Hey friends!
Awesome day today. Guess what I did?!
Heh, get it?? We’re spelling Y-O-G-A! 
(We told Heather she needs to work on her “G” 
)
Apparently this coming week is Yoga Week in DC, and today they were having free yoga sessions on the mall! It was a GORGEOUS day, so clearly we had to partake It’s random things like this I’ll miss when I leave DC!
I met up with Julie, Heather, and Liz for the yoga-sesh — an impromptu blogger meet up! Julie is in town from Pittsburgh and we had plans to meet up anyway, so this was perfect
The mall area was bumpin’ — everyone was out and about on this gorgeous day!
So cool to be chillin on a yoga mat right next to the monuments
We arrived at kind of an awkward time in between sessions, though! At first, everyone was just sitting around while the instructors switched out, and these guys entertained us:
Lol.
Then, the new instructor started leading people in fist pumps (apparently he missed the memo and thought we were at the Jersey shore) and various hand waving.
I decided to take matters into my own hands and led the girls myself in a mini power / vinyasa-style yoga sesh, complete with all my faves: plank, down dog, runner’s pose, crescent lunge, warrior 1, warrior 2, reverse warrior, triangle pose, and a bunch of chaturangas. They were telling me that if becoming an RD doesn’t work out, I can always become a yoga instructor It was fun!
I think you guys can probably guess what we did after yoga… FROZEN YOGURT!!! Duh.
This is pretty much a requirement of all blogger meet ups, I think
We hit up a new place downtown called Fro-Zen-Yo! It’s a self-serve place with a billion flavor options… yessssssss:
I got a mixture of the plain tart, peanut butter, and mint yogurts and lots of fruit, complete with a cherry on top
Divine! Great company, too
Thanks for the fun day, girls We need to play again ASAP!
And now I’m heading back out to a friend’s place! I can’t make it too late of a night though because my training buddy Ashley and I have 10 miles on the docket for tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. Yikes!
Have a great night!
How fun! You can always teach yoga at UNC!!
Good luck on the 10-miler!
Sounds like a super day. Have fun on the 10-miler. Look fwd to hearing of your split times. Hope it’s not too humid! Good luck -
Ugh, that “G” is no bueno! Maybe next time I’ll keep my legs straight? Not sure where they were going…
I wonder what Yoga week means?? We should probably look into that.
Can I just say that I am ubbbber jealous that you got to do yoga on the mall! I knew that this week was “yoga week” in DC and it looks like it was really fun! I moved out last week and your pictures made me homesick!
P.S. I went to that yogurt place before I left and it was divine! If you have a chance to go back I recommend that red velvet yogurt!
Enjoy the city
I miss it terribly
Hahahahaha – lovely pics, Anne!
I´m sure that Fro-Yo tasted amazing – I even had some myself for dessert today
Wish you an amazing Sunday, love!
Brazilian XOXO´s,
Gabriela
I love the military guys there!
Looks like you ladies had a lot of fun. I had emailed heather to let her know the event was going on. Looked like a great turn out. Wish we had one of those do it yourself fro yo places in Oregon!
YES! Thanks, Sass
Glad you know more about the happenings in DC than we do, haha. xo
Haha I know, right? Thanks for passing along the info! p.s. Sassy Molassy is an awesome blog name
Ahh, your pics make me miss DC!! But only a few more weeks and I’ll be back romping on the mall…Can’t wait!
Is Fro-zen-yo a new place? My absolute favorite is Mr. Yogato in Dupont Circle…if you haven’t been, you MUST give it a try!
Yoga on the mall looks great…so many people turned out! What a perfect afternoon in DC!
Good luck on the run! You definitely have a back up career
Yessssss… gosh I love that picture! Had so much fun with you and the other girls. Can’t wait to do it again. Seriously, be a yoga teacher
I’ll have my recap up sometime soon 
what a fun day! i would LOVE to have a huge yoga session like that…too cute!
aww, man! wish i would have known about that – i would have definitely went! I live in tysons – never knew about yoga week tho!
Aw boo! I didn’t know about it til last minute, either!
