Round 6: Day 88: Yoga

For some things in life, there's MasterCard; for everything else, there's yoga. The love affair with yoga continued today, with Patience Yoga from Tony Horton's One on One series. Moving at a slower pace and holding the postures for an extended period of time presents challenges. It does force you to have patience, and gives you opportunities to focus on your breathing; after all, there's nothing else to do. Patience, breath, and clearing the mind.

There's no other exercise which makes you so flexible and durable, none which works on strength, balance and coordination, or which calms the mind and relieves stress. I really hesitate to call it "exercise", because it's so much more than that. Do your yoga, and drink your water, people.

Namaste.
