Hi Lucky,

I went very regularly for over a year and it did do me lots of good. I'm being very lazy now and not been for a couple of months at all. Too cold in the village hall !!

Take a blanket and enjoy.

I'm pretty supple anyway and was always in trouble for not doing it right , being too fast and too interested in the others . I will go back to it if I feel the need or when it gets a bit warmer.

Well..

I went to YOGA last night and it was fine. very relaxing but am sore this morning!!

Is that normal I am not in agaony but just a wee bit sore

Lucky

[Meg]

Oh yes, stretching sore. Found muscles you didn't know you had did you ??

It gets better with practice as you increase your flexibility

Glad you found it beneficial. Did you do lying down with meditation at the end ?

Hiya Meg,

We done lying down at the beginning and done our breathing exercises (took 15mins or so and i nearly fell asleep)

We done an hours stretching (yes I have found many a muscle i never knew I had!!)

And then about 15 mins meditation which was very relaxing (almost hypnotic)

My problem was I wore shorts and a top (forgot my blanket) and a pair of thin sports socks and I was freezing!!

Next time I will wear proper bottoms and take a blanket and an extra pair of socks for the meditation!!

I really relaxed and between that and a nice hot bath in a candle filled room when I got home, I was like a new woman and slept like a baby!!!

I'm going again next week - Do you practise the stretches on a daily basis Meg?

Thanks
Lucky

[Meg]

Do I ****** ?
I should I know and have the excellent CD's from my teacher which puts me out like a light but I haven't got round to it for ages.

I should go again but haven't forced myself to in the cold weather. Draughty village hall.

..and I reminded you about a blanket. Some actually take Duvets as Ruth is big on relaxation. I think several of us are just waiting for the 'lets lie down' phrase .
