Yoga

I have finally succumb to my daughter Jennifer's urging to try Yoga!
I think I was always afraid, that being a "big girl" that I wouldn't be able to bend like a pretzel and make a fool of myself.

Well, guess what? It is not like that at all!

Courtney and I had our first private lesson with Yoga Instructor Donna Kraft-Smith on Monday. She gently and in her quiet voice took us through the safe way of warming up and explained the philosophy of yoga. "Enrichment of body, mind and spirit"

Courtney and I, who work in front of computers hour after hour, felt AND HEARD popping, snapping and then relaxing of our bones and muscles. It was like the pressure of the day exiting our bodies.

After almost an hour of "poses", we couldn't believe an hour had passed and can't wait for next week.

So, when Court and I got back to the office, we gleefully called Jennifer to tell her our our accomplishment! Of course, she was thrilled, but probably more pleased that she WAS RIGHT!
We can't wait for Monday now..... Of course it is now time to go and pick up the yoga mat and stretchy but not bulky clothes.

We will keep you posted on our yoga journey, AND fyi there will be no pictures to post of our adventure!
