To be true to my word, I did yoga last night
In case you're wondering, I will be giving you daily updates on how my one hour practice affects me.
I slept like a baby last night. You might think that's not surprising, seeing as I got to bed at about 1am, but I've been known to stay up until 3am coz my mind won't shut up (do you ever get that? Where your mind won't switch off?)
Anyway, I found it good to practice yoga at night, after everyone else is in bed. No people clomping around while you try to hold some awkward pose with your butt in the air, trying to hear exactly how you straighten your back while keeping the shoulders relaxed and the calves tight and the chin tucked and what was that last part?
Okay, so it's not that hard, but it is much better when there's no distractions. It's very easy for me to be distracted in our little, cluttered house.
I've discovered that from my shoulders pretty much all the way down my back, the muscles are really tight. That might seem backwards, discovering tightness while excercising, but I'm hoping yoga will improve it. The twisty back exercises helped.
Hooroo!
