Round 6: Day 50: Yoga

It's funny how I always feel like I could use a stretch, but perhaps it's my age creeping up on me. Since I've started exercising regularly (about 2 years ago), I feel that I've been able to turn back the hands of time. I'm more limber than ever before, and there's not too much cracking and popping in my joints. Nevertheless, I can always benefit from some stretching.

The other day, a friend was commenting on the spiritual aspects of yoga, how it's much more than just exercising. I'm trying to take that to heart by really focussing on my breathing throughout the various postures. Patience yoga is a good DVD to focus on breathing, because each posture is held for a fairly long period of time. I completely zoned out during the session; I have no idea where my mind went. Before I knew it, I was on my back, doing shavasana, and deep breathing.

Great start to Recovery Week.
