It is vital! I am so glad you agree about yoga. And, yes, one day at a time.

Best~

Flexibility is very underrated and yoga is probably the best thing I've found that helps with it. And don't focus on what your body will feel like in 10 years; just deal with the present! Best of luck to you.....

Anything to keep us out of PT, eh?

It's keeping this aging body out of physical therapy and I just feel better in general.

Namaste.

It was fun living in Weehawken while working in NYC. One of my physicians is in Englewood. Where do you live now?

I am so happy we are practicing yoga for so many reasons, right? Namaste..

It is so good for both the body and soul.

And BTW, I used to live in Englewood and know that Weekawken line so very well!

I am sorry you had to deal with your injury, but I hope it's totally behind you now.

He is the man! I think my entire body would be one sore spot if I tried that. Good for him!

You play tennis, and that is GREAT! It is what works for you.

I always tell Gary that the day after they find a cure, I will be playing tennis. I'd LOVE to play again.

Love you!

I learned something new about you today, Audrey. I never knew you were a certified coach. That fact along makes me want to move closer to you. Ottawa winters...hmm?! xo

There are so many varieties of yoga. My intermediate class (the one I hope to get back to someday) has many seniors that I adore, and they can do the yoga poses I'm dreaming of doing someday soon. It IS for everyone.

I always tell them there is a yoga out there that is right for them, they just have to keep looking. Thanks for sharing Cathy!

I have tried to get into yoga -- Michael swears by it and goes almost every single day -- but I just don't have the patience for it. Oh, maybe that's why I really do need to do it -- to gain that patience!
