Y is for Yoga
A couple years ago when Tink and I were working out at a local gym we decided to try the yoga class they offered. Figured it would be good to get some flexibility in this aging body. Man oh man was it hard! The first class totally kicked my a**! We were brave and kept going back, determined to get better. I bought a book to practice at home. Bought a couple of DVD’s for the same purpose. The gym ended up changing the time of the class to evenings and I hate going out at night……..and don’t need much of an excuse to not exercise…….so that was the end of yoga classes for me.

I tried to continue working out at home with my favorite yoga DVD called “Yoga Prayer” but I’m just not disciplined enough. I’d put the tape in and end up just listening to the pretty background music! Tried again when my doctor told me to take up yoga or Pilates for my back (I have scoliosis)…..but problem was I am still me…no discipline. So maybe one day I’ll find the perfect class, at the perfect time, for the perfect cost and be able to take up yoga once again.
Round 4 of ABC Wednesday is just about over, be sure to check out more Y entries.

I liked but was bad at continuing, Yoga too. Too bad we dont live closer, maybe we would do it together in that case. Oh well. Maybe someday something will open up for both of us to get back into it! Love you!
Try water aerobics. It's cool!
I have a yoga DVD that I have not even opened. I've done some pilates and found it to be hard but invigorating....but I'm like you - too many excuses NOT to exercise.
I probably should do yoga...
I don't like yoga, I guess I'm not disciplined enough! I get bored and impatient. I'm sure it's good for both mind and body though, if you can stick with it!
I miss Yoga!
YOGA... That's what I neede to practise right now... See you tomorrow at ABC Wednesday!!!!
