I'm going back to my yoga class tonight. I haven't been there for a year because of my arm injury. It's a new night, new time and all new people. I'm a little nervous, but a little excited. I know this is going to be good for me, but I'm still afraid of the pain of getting back in shape. Wish me luck. O.K.?

Good luck Sissy, I haven't been since June and really need yoga, I'm looking forward to getting back to class in Nov. when I get back to FL. Do what you can, yoga is supposed to feel good.

That's so exciting Sissy, best of luck with picking up again and meeting new people.
I'll pray that it all goes smoothly for you Smile

I've thought about taking up a yoga class as I've heard and read it's very helpful with relaxation, not to mention suppleness. I've even toyed with the idea of purchasing a 'yoga for beginners' dvd but I know a class would be the way to go for me plus it would get me out of the house.
I really think yoga would be a huge benefit for me as I tend to be very 'uptight' Razz

I need to learn how to relax and not sweat the small stuff!
I really SHOULD make the effort to do this in the NEW YEAR!

I'm really excited. My class went really well. I was so glad there were "newbies" in the class. It was there first time in a yoga class, so, I felt a lot better. The teacher did a really gentle class. No holding postures, nothing that I wasn't able to handle. The hour and a half went really fast. My arm is a little achey, but that will go away in time.

Thank you all for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.

To anyone who is considering yoga, call around in your area and see if any teacher offers a free class. My teacher offers one free intro class. It's an hour and a half, mats and other equipment are provided. It's the best way to see if yoga is right for you.

My company used to offer yoga on Wednesday evenings. I should look into that and see if it's still on.

I LOVE yoga!!!

I have a few yoga dvd's...an introduction, for beginners,...but my two favorites are one's called "Yoga for weight-loss" and "Fat-burning yoga"....very good!! They are not as relaxing as the beginner dvd's, and they really make you feel like you've done something! Which is wonderful! considering my hard-core aerobic days are over! Laughing

I am partial to dvd's by yogazone.

I LOVE yoga!!! I love you

I don't think I can explain it, Donna! scratch

For me, it's stretching +++, but I know there is more to it...a lifestyle actually....maybe someone else can give some input?
