Yoga has helped me so much in my fitness goals, but also my mental goals. I’m an endurance junkie, and my go to workout involved some form of cardio like running, cycling, or swimming. I love triathlon training, and when I am on training mode, I workout with at least two of those disciplines each day.

After my triathlon workouts, I like doing yoga for stretching, balance, and strength and also for meditative purposes. My breathing and heart rate are intense during my training, and yoga helps regulate my breathing and heart rate. I feel very calm and at peace after a yoga session.

My sport as a triathlete is based on cross-training: swimming, cycling, and running. I like to incorporate strength and core training at least twice a week after a swim or cycle workout.When I am not training for a race, I really enjoy outdoors or adventurous activities like kayaking and rock climbing.

I’ve been an athlete my whole life, so I can’t imagine life without fitness! However, as every athlete can understand, I have those days where I rather not do anything. When that happens, I always tell myself, “Just get out there. Do what you can. If you don’t finish, at least you got out there and tried.” When I know I will be out busy all day, I carry my gym bag with clothes and shoes to motivate me to workout before I head home.

Meditation is essential in my day. Whether it is while I’m stretching, doing vinyasa sequences, or simply laying down, I find peace, energy, and positivity in my breath. I also have a mindful meditation phone app that I use to help me relax right before bed.

Felicia Tomasko has spent more of her life practicing Yoga and Ayurveda than not. She first became introduced to the teachings through the writings of the Transcendentalists, through meditation, and using asana to cross-train for her practice of cross-country running. Between beginning her commitment to Yoga and Ayurveda and today, she earned degrees in environmental biology and anthropology and nursing, and certifications in the practice and teaching of yoga, yoga therapy, and Ayurveda while working in fields including cognitive neuroscience and plant biochemistry. Her commitment to writing is at least as long as her commitment to yoga. Working on everything related to the written word from newspapers to magazines to websites to books, Felicia has been writing and editing professionally since college. In order to feel like a teenager again, Felicia has pulled out her running shoes for regular interval sessions throughout Southern California. Since the very first issue of LA YOGA, Felicia has been part of the team and the growth and development of the Bliss Network.
