Not yet, no. There was a time in the not so distant past where I practiced each and every day, revelling in yoga and all it's stretchy goodness. Then, sometime in March, I slipped up and have been cursing myself and my laziness ever since. This time of year always gets me thinking and re-evaluating things. Whilst my yoga practice ground to a halt and ended up replaced by a ridiculous World of Warcraft habit (I'm a geek, I know), I did develop a neat little photography habit, and wrote almost 30,… Continue

Thank god for Yogamum. Her monthly update email sprung into my inbox the other day and made me sit down and hard a long hard talk with myself. You know when you've been slipping, and you know you're doing it but you carry on anyway...? That's been me for the past six weeks. I've let my healthy eating slip to the point where we had take-away two nights in a row, I've been filling up on white bread and butter and my yoga practice has gone from daily to "umm... later".

It's been far too long since I last posted here. I have had a turbulent week or so, due to a broken central heating system (damn cold in late January), so I couldn't practice whilst repairmen wandered the house. Don't laugh, I'm shy...!

Today though I pulled myself togeth… Continue

Tonight I feel exausted, as though the lines blur between where I end and the couch begins. Yesterday was busy, toddler group in the morning followed by a quick train-ride into town, then home for the rest of the afternoon. Today it rained so bad we just stayed inside, my son played with toys and I messed around online. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten to do yoga, the sessions have been good (shoulder stands! yay!) but tonight I feel completely wrung out. I would just go to bed but I've been goi… Continue

Gorgeous session today, lots of cobra (which I love) and some balance poses. I'm warm now, which is surprising considering that the weather is vaguely typhoon like - went for a long walk this morning and came home looking like a drowned rat! I'm going to have a shower shortly, as hot as I can stand it just in case there are any snuffly bugs hanging around after the walk.

I'm noticing that the classes are getting a little tougher each day, which is great. They're only half an hour long w… Continue
