Yoga

Thanks to my awesome friend Tracee, I have now started doing yoga twice a week, in addition to my six days of working out at the gym. We do yoga together in one of our living rooms---whichever home is more convenient for both of us on that particular day.

Tracee knew I hadn't done yoga in many years and when I did yoga before I was in much better shape. So she started me off slowly.

"Oh, this is so much easier than I remembered!" I thought. "This is just stretching and relaxing!" Even though I couldn't do all the poses yet, it was still less physically demanding overall than I thought it would be.

Well, Tracee---who is very experienced in yoga---was just bringing me in slowly. She didn't want to scare me away in the first couple of sessions. Today, I was reminded of what yoga REALLY feels like! Today, she cranked it up.

We did yoga at lunch and it was no longer the beginner yoga. My heart was racing. I was sweating. I was working hard. I've only been back in the office for about an hour and I can already feel the soreness setting in.

Whew! Now THAT was YOGA!!! Wooo-hoooooo!!!

It feels really, really awesome.

Thank you Tracee!!
