Y is Yoga

Ummm Yummy...on Tuesdays at our Corporate Office (CO) at noon we have a guest Yoga instructor...Wendy. She used to be paid for by the Health and Fitness Program, but now things being what they are, we the attendees pay for her...but oh so worth it. Wendy is a wonderful instructor. She is calm and holds the poses or Asanas longer and really focuses on breathing.
This week we had a guest...Vonnie, and she gave us a bit more of a workout.
Why am I discussing Yoga? It is just the best stretching method and a good hour long session does wonders for us tighty-whities...my legs are sooo tight.
I am a stretch after kind of guy. I am warm and things seem to work much better that way, but I am not a real limber fellow. My usual stretch routine includes a hodge podge amalgamation of runners stretches and warped yoga poses. It always feels good, but I have a hard time even touching my toes. As mentioned I have run a number of long runs, marathons and the relays and I get pretty sore by Tuesday after a Sunday event. This Yoga session is so well timed and works magic.
I got a new Yoga book this week too...Hatha Yoga Illustrated and will try to do more at home whether on the Wii, by tape, the book or just a couple poses.
This week was a real refresher and felt great. Y is for Yoga.
