Back From Yoga
I'm back from my first yoga class and so far, I think I like it. We mostly laid or sat in the floor and practiced breathing and then did some candle-gazing meditation at the end. I wasn't really sure what I was going to get from this, but thinking about it on the way home, I came up with a couple of answers.
First of all, my lower back hurts a lot and I tend to slouch. By doing all these stretches and strengthing the muscles, hopefully I'll see some improvement there.
Secondly, and probably most importantly, I tend to stress over a lot of stuff (gee, wonder why I have gastritis and stomach problems?) and worry. I'm hoping that by learning how to get more balance into my life, I can stop killing myself from stress.
Anyway, like I said, I think I like it so far, but it's too early to tell how beneficial or how much I'll end up liking it. I do know that it's not as easy as I thought it would be! Keeping my legs extended in the air for several minutes is pretty challenging! Boy, do I need to get back in the gym!

i really am looking forward to your comments on your yoga class. i've heard it was pretty tough, but i still think i'd like to try it someday.

I got a Yoga DVD when I first started getting sick, but there's just too many positions that I can't do now. :( So its waiting for me when I'm better. The breathing reminders really did help, though, so turning on calm music and just sitting here and breathing is something I need to do more :)
