A Place to Workout
The most important thing, though, is that I asked if I might use the TV/DVD set-up in order to pracice my yoga exercises in a place where there is more room than what we have here in our motor home. I found out how to operate the machine (and various hand held "clickers"), but was not able to get the d... thing up and running. Tomorrow I will take my disk and a notebook and pen and get detailed directions.
I did as much as I was able to do from our little yoga book and from what I have been able to pull off the internet. My! There is a host of illustrations of the various asanas on the web. (I've used up all my printer toner and will pick up more toner tomorrow so I can continue making my own "Yoga" book!)

April Update
Paul (husband) was diagnosed with bladder cancer & went into chemo treatments once-a-week for 6 weeks. He did really well with them, and now we have 4-6 weeks "off". He'll have another biopsy around the first part of May.
Right now we are in a camp ground called Agua Caliente (near the largest California State Park - Anza Borrego). We are full-timers --- that means we live and travel in our motor home. We are on our way up… Continue

Not Really Gone
Paul had minor surgery on 1/31 and my trusty Yoga books came in handy as I waited for him to get out of the surgery and recovery room.
In all honesty, I must confess that I did not work out every day. We live about 100 miles from the hospital, so we stayed in a motel for 4 nights. D… Continue

Catch-up
My weekly class on Thursday was especially good. Our teacher is a down-to-earth gal who is really helping us (me in particular) breath more correctly. Each time we have class she brings something new to the table. I enjoy not having a set routine, especially when I am just learning about Yoga and all its ramifications. Balance cont… Continue

Yoga on the Web
I'll put them to good use (even Paul is working harder at getting more limber so he can attend class with me, too!) I told him he could probably attend anyway, but this is the way he wants to do it, and I am just glad to see him do his Yoga every m… Continue

My work day sounds much easier than you day of driving - fog, rain and mountain passes does not sound enjoyable. I have learned that sometimes it's better just to let your body rest after a day like that, otherwise you might risk getting injured (at least for me personally - just because I can't concentrate when physically exhausted). And the way I look at it, tomorrow is another day. So have a good night.
What an inspiration you are! Biking across the states! I am excited to hear where your journey into Yoga takes you!
