In all the craziness of life I found something that allows me to relax and be calm, sleep better, feel better and be healthy. And my body craves it now!! It is yoga. I've had doctors and counselors recommend it but I never took them seriously. Until now. I've been doing yoga here and there since I was a little girl, but never regularly. Now, I practice every single day at home!! I hate to miss it. I found an excellent tape that is short, easy and is perfect to start with:
am & pm Yoga. Rodney Yee does the am part and Patricia Walden does the pm (I love her!!!). If you don't like to exercise or don't even have time, yoga is perfect for you.
Yoga Journal has a great website too that is full of information. I think that life can be too full and busy on a regular basis and that keeps us from our full creative potential. I think of drawings and paintings when I'm practicing yoga. I even practiced it when I travelled to Cincinnati. Here is a
video of Rodney Yee doing some of the postures that I do!

I've been thinking about doing yoga. Maybe I'll look in to Yee's dvds. Thanks!
You are right in all the craziness of life, we need to find something to relax... For me, it's swimming :)but i'm interested by doing Yoga, i will have a look at you links :)
A few years ago, I tried pilates and yoga. I liked Pilates better. It may have been the instructor. There is something about all the breathing. Reading your blog made me think about watching yoga years ago on PBS. I am thinking we occassionally tried it at your house. Good to hear you are doing something for yourself. I was on a hiatus from singing as the concert conflicted with spring break. I am looking forward to starting back next week.
That video sounds great!
And your illustrations are lovely :-)
Yoga has been on my mind for quite a while now. I've got two knitting friends that have been doing yoga for many years but I can't seem to get myself to a studio or a video.
yeah I like to do yoga dvds at home too, but I dont do it everyday!! - good for you.
Oh I love Rodney Yee, I own four of his DVDs and do one every day. Strength and Flexibility are both good too, just half an hour in length os easy to fit in when you are pushed for time.
