yoga and stuff

[anniwyn]

I had my first yoga class yesterday. I felt it was time for me to do something positive for myself and to try and calm my crazy thoughts and anxiety issues. I found out just how out of shape I was. When I used to dance, i was a gumby girl, now...now i feel more like old licorice. But it will be good to get my flexibility back and hopefully

Glad you feel better. Yoga is very kick ass. I wonder how I would have turned out at times if I was a woman. I mean I have long hair that I condition, I did yoga, I'm vegitarian, own cats, write poetry, cry during movies, wear makeup and so on. I do more girly stuff than most girls I know.

Yoga's wonderful.... except you have to be careful with it. Yoga creates length through gravity, which they're finding a lot of yoga teachers are unable to hold their postures when they get older. They just crumple, because they're so flexible, but their muscles aren't strong enough to hold them in place. So, it's good to balance it out by taking Pilates AND yoga, because pilates creates length through strength, but yoga's good for the mind and soul.

Ha! just had to get that out;)
