Yoga: In my future?
It’s the middle of December already and we have not… I repeat, HAVE NOT gone to check out the yoga place near our house. I was so ecstatic to be able to enroll my husband to yoga. My positive attitude didn’t falter even when Kara-Leah of Prana Flow NZ commented that it’s one thing for one to say something and it’s quite another to actually do it.
Right now, I’d have to agree with her. She’s a yoga instructor and her partner isn’t enrolling in any of her yoga classes. Isn’t practicing, period. So I’m resigned to the fact that maybe my husband might just be agreeing with me simply to shut my big mouth up. I don’t usually nag but yoga was something that turned me into a broken record.
So yeah, maybe Kara’s right. Or maybe it’s because it’s the holidays and so many things are going on. I’m still keeping my fingers crossed that we’ll be able to go during the first week on January. If not… well, I’ll go ahead and do my thing. I don’t care whether he comes or not anymore. He’ll just suffer the consequences like: late dinner, large belly, no meat, large belly, no wife to accompany him home, large belly… (ya get it, hubby?! — he reads this blog.) Hehehehe.

Christmas/New Years is a busy time… I wish you luck on getting there (with hubby) early January!
It’s so tough when you know how awesome yoga is, and you know what amazing things it could do for your family and friends… to accept that they may not be interested.
I struggle with it still! But I don’t want to nag either, as that often has the opposite affect. So yep, it’s been offered, take it or leave it, I ain’t saying anothr word!

Thanks for your kind words… I really hope he’ll join me. It’ll be doubly hard to keep it up without him. But I’ve made up my mind. With or without him, I’m going!

Many yoga classes are out there, and you may be turned off if you pick one that does not suit your personality and state of physical fitness. For most beginners, a hatha or vinyasa class will be most appropriate, depending on whether you want a slow or fast-paced class. These are basic styles, and you can always try something fancier later.
