Oh, it hurts so good.

saffronhareJust got in to work from the yoga class I convinced my doctor to prescribe for me. Wow. I'm terribly impressed. See, although I appreciate the many health benefits of yoga, I've been a little scornful of it as a form of exercise. This particular form wrings my ass out.
After the two-hour class, I'm drenched with sweat, exhausted and so very happy. Didn't have time to do much more than take a "marine shower" and change my shirt before I had to be back in the office, but hey -- that's a price I'm willing to pay every three weeks or so. (I can only sacrifice a 1/2 day out of the office so often; the onus is on me to continue daily work at home and let the classes be a check-in.)
Hopefully, it will begin to pay off in fewer headaches, general resiliency, better stress processing and a revitalized immune system. There are likely to be other benefits in terms of strength and flexibility, but those aren't the primary goals for the moment.
Later.
