I *heart* yoga!!!

*sigh* After a seven year absence, I have finally returned to the world of yoga...and I still LOVE it just as much as I did when I first began to do it!!!! I loved it seven years ago and I have always highly recommended it to people, but because of time and laziness, I quit going. The local gym (Curves for Women) that I go to, though, has just started having a yoga instructor come two times a week and it just so happens that the Monday night class time fits in with my schedule! So, after a month of saying I'd go, I finally went. When the class was over, I just felt thrilled to "be there" again and to be participating in something that I absolutely love! Yoga is not for everyone, but if you've never tried it before, I strongly recommend that you give it a shot. After the hour long class was finished, I felt relaxed, exercised, uplifted, centered, encouraged and just plain 'ol good! :o) This is one exercise where I truly understand the idea of picking an exercise you love to do...it makes a WORLD of difference!! So go and try yoga sometime! I don't think you'll regret it! :)

PS - As an update to the previous post, I have made the decision to just stay where I am for another year and pay off some debt, save a little money and just see what the economy does. I hope to get in an extra trip or two this year with going up to visit the family, but I don't know how much that would help the "save a little money" aspect of my goals, so I'm not sure how things will work out. :) However, I do believe that everything will work out just as it should...so please remind me of this statement when (if!!) I'm singing the blues about decisions made! :o)

What can I say, except that Yoga is indeed awesome! Keep at it! Wish I could be there to do it with you. Although I can't imagine it would be half as fun as the TBC class we rocked our way through!

If I have to exercise, yoga and square dancing are my favorites. Do you have to be a member to yoga at Curves, or can you pay by the class?

We did yoga at our water exercise class last week. It was a nice change, but we did all get quite amused by it. :-) The swimming pool is glass on one side and we kept wondering who all might come watch us!! Linda

Fun to 'hear' from the ol' woodtick again too. :)

Keep honest & keep praying.....
I enjoyed your post about looking at resolutions again. Reminds me I'm not doing so well with mine & so I'd better get off this computer & head for bed soon!

I've always envisioned Yoga being like sitting in awkward positions while eating yogurt with a spoon from the little Yoplait containers. Actually, I thought about trying it a couple times now that I don't have to pay for classes at the Y. On your recommendation, I'll have to go try it for reals.
