Batting 1.000 in the relaxation department

Last night, I came awfully close to not doing any kind of tai chi/yoga/anything at night.  This was, in part, because I just didn't feel like it and, in part, because yet another night of the same PM Tai Chi DVD was just not exciting.  Then, I had a brilliant idea.  In fact, this may rank as one of my best of the month (possibly tied with nabbing my friend's CSA share).  I have a Roku, which allows me to stream content directly from Netflix to my TV.  What if they had a yoga workout?  And by gum, they did.

Plus, it's a pretty good night workout with lots of nice stretching and good instructions -- the instructor is Sarah Ivanhoe.  This workout is called Candlelight Yoga, which is kind of funny because the studio in the video has candles, yet the mood lighting is somewhat hampered by the fact that there are also lots of really bright lights.  However, I liked the workout.  It was not too tricky and there were even modifications offered if you were really yoga-impaired.  The poses were not overly strenuous and some felt quite good.  Plus, it wasn't PM Tai Chi because sometimes variety can be good.

I am hoping that my new yoga DVDs show up soon.  Then I will have an embarrassment of PM workout riches.
