I'm still suffering from sievebrain syndrome and I've completely forgotten to write about my yoga class.
I've been trying to find a week-by-week course as so many round here are run in six week blocks and are term time only, which is no good for me. I managed to find a lovely class in the village my mum used to live in, run by a lovely young lady called Katherine. She is so encouraging, tipping you slightly this way or that way when you haven't quite got it right. When you do get it right, she beams a great smile at you as reassurance.
She also tells us all the names of each move in Sanskrit as well as English which makes it feel very authentic.
We started off with breathing exercises, then did some warm up moves, then some bigger sequences. At the end, Katherine lit two candles and turned all the lights off while we lay in the dark and did a relaxation exercise. It was so calming, I'm surprised we didn't all fall asleep!
That was on Tuesday night, and I am still aching today but I can't wait to go again :OD

Katherine sounds wonderful ! A real find! :)
Glad you are enjoying the yoga and have found what sounds like a great class. I'm so now bendy enought for yoga (although maybe if I did yoga I would be more bendy...)

I love yoga! I used to go to a yoga class and like you I loved the deep relaxation at the end. Some people fell asleep, I never did, but I could see how it was possible with us all lying under blankets in the dark with our yoga teaching talking to us softly and quietly heehee!
