I find exercising after a 12 hour shift at the hospital quite difficult at times, but since YAS is less than a 10 minute drive away from my work, I convinced myself that I had no more excuses. The class consists of 30 minutes of spin followed by 30 minutes of yoga.  The first time I took a YAS class, I was initially thrown off with the 30/30 Spin and Yoga combination.  I’m use to taking one specific type of class at a time, such as either just spinning or just yoga, so the combination of both spin and yoga in one class was a nice change of pace.  It definitely makes the 60 minutes speed by quickly.  After taking care of others for 12 hours, my initial reaction is to go home, shower, grab a glass of wine then head into bed and prepare for the next day.  But I have to admit, the YAS 30/30 is a perfect healthy ending to my long day at the hospital.  Your heart is initially pumping from the cycling, followed by a calm relaxing meditative flow of stretching to end your class.  After class, I head home, take a nice long shower then head into bed, restful and relaxed.  At the end of the night, I feel a sense of great satisfaction knowing that I was able to not only take care of others at the hospital, but also myself at the studio.
