I knew that I wouldn't keep up with doing yoga and such every day, but I think that I'm doing a relatively good job. This week has required a lot of adjusting since I'm back in classes, so it's not so easy to organize my time. But I did get a chance to do two workouts and they have been quite useful. When I stretch after running, there is no question that I am getting more flexible.
Today I tried a yin yoga DVD that I got from the library. The practitioner was Simon Low and it was great. There was one pose that I absolutely could not manage, but the rest went quite well. One pose incorporated into the workout was pigeon, which really stretched muscles that needed some work. It's nothing like the Sesame Street song sung by Bert, if you're curious.
The best part of the yin yoga DVD (apart from the actual workout) was when the instructor offered an alternative banana pose at one point. There is just something funny about hearing the word 'banana' in a British accent.
I may go to hot yoga with a friend next week (hey, why not?) and normal yoga should be starting up soon. It will be nice to have more of an organized routine...actually, that could be said about a lot of things right now!
