[OT] Yoga

A friend of mine bought me a belated birthday present of a private yoga
lesson, and I finally had it this week.

Wow! is about all I can say (yeah, right ;-) )

It was pretty basic; just getting into breathing and allowing my body to
relax. She was kinda funny: "Let your back have a tummy, too! Let
your insides dance!" lol! But it felt really good, and when we were
done, she told me that most of the clients she sees could never get as
far with it as I could (yeah, maybe she just wanted me to take 2,000
lessons, but I don't think so).

And I really felt better (up until today, because -- bad girl -- I
skipped the exercises yesterday). My friend got me the lesson because
she figured it might do more for me than all the medical stuff. To some
degree, I think she may be right.

It's getting better -- or at least starting to!

Sending purrs that this is the start of things getting better because
I really can't think of a person more deserving of a break than you!

I have also had some good news this week- a while ago my masseur left
and I have been suffering with my bad shoulder for a while only to
find a friend of mine is trained in massage and can do it for me! She
doesn't even want paid (I brought her a drink and she was even saying
I didn't need to do that) It certainly worked. she did it Thursday and
Friday morning I barely managed to get my bra on then a few hours
later it "clicked" and now I am blessedly completely pain free!

Yoga is fantastic and I think it will do you a lot of good, not only
physically, but also spiritually.

Massages can do wonders to an aching body.
I am so glad to hear your shoulder is now pain free. I also have on
and off shoulder
problem. These days my shoulder is acting up so I have been going to
my massage
therapist. If you don't mind needles, try accupunture. It improves my
shoulder mobility.

Back when I could still get up off the floor by myself, I got a lot of
mileage out of yoga. Very good for relaxation and breathing even if
that is as far as you get.

There used to be a program, I think on PBS called Lilas Yoga and You.

I mastered the sponge.

We are sending you plenty of purrs. Yoga is great--hang in there. It does
take some patience.

Good on you. Once upon a time I was very much into yoga and loved it. Dunno
why I never seem to find time for it anymore, as I'm sure it would do me a
world of good too. Same goes for tai chi and qi gong. Even if you can't take
a class, there are plenty of good videos available that can get you started.

Yes Tai Chi is very good for you. I sleep better on the days when I
had Tai Chi
lessons. It is very good for balance.

I know what Tai Chi is, and I know what chi is. I can't believe that
until they Olympic opener I never had a clue that Tai Chi had anything
to do with chi.
