Yoga… is it really in my future?
About 8 months ago… I wrote about my disappointment when I thought I was able to convince my husband to do yoga with me. I also said that with or without him, I’d go on my own.
*sigh*
I never did.
It was when my husband started reading all these running related stuff when he found out that yoga is an encouraged parallel practice/exercise to running. I think it aids in stretching… prevents muscle fatigue, etc. (sorry, I didn’t do my research) And as soon as I heard “yoga” while sharing what he’d learned… I didn’t care what else he said. First thing I did was I went out and bought him a yoga mat… unfortunately, the only available color is fuchsia/purple combination… so he’ll be using the yoga mat he gave me and I get to use the new one.
The yoga schedule we’re looking at is 6:30 PM every Tuesday and Thursday. We were supposed to go last Thursday but my husband didn’t feel too hot so we ended up going home instead. I thought that it was the end of that. But again, I need the support and yoga partner, I asked him again if we’re going to do yoga tomorrow, he said yes! I’m still keeping my hopes at bay because so many things can happen between now and tomorrow evening. 24 hours.
Please keep your fingers crossed for me! Include your toes… your eyes… hahahaha!

Have you finally gone? I am in Ubay, Bohol, and cannot find anywhere to go. I practiced (a beginner) for 4 months before I moved here last year. I really miss it. I am 63, a confirmed desk driver for most of those years. I must tell you I never felt better when I was practicing.
Yes, stretching. And more! You get more benefits than you can possibly imagine. When I was going, I enlisted several friends, and they are still going!
I hope you have managed to go.
Where were you intending on getting involved?

Hi Lon… a big resounding YES!
My husband and I have been going to yoga regularly for almost two months now and I have to say that it really changed our lives and the way we see things. Not just stretching, you are right. What we found was much much more. I can honestly say that the meditation was a big help in reducing our stress levels and the asanas is a wonderful strength training pair to our running regimen. I just love it.
I’ll ask our center if they have a branch available in Bohol… I’ll email you the details in case I find anything out.
I’d hate to see anyone missing out on yoga especially since you got to try it.

I practice Yoga at home mainly for the purpose of having a relax mind and body. Stress is really high on our workplace and yoga helps me relax.
