stretchin' it

i finally did it... i'm finally taking yoga classes!
i just made the commitment in joining a 1-year membership at a yoga studio.

in the last few years i've heard about how wonderful and healthy yoga is, and how good it's supposed to be for the body and mind, and improve flexiblility, balance, and relaxation. even my doctor recommended that i take up yoga to help ease my sleeping problem. for years, i've had the intention to give yoga a try... but i guess i just never got around to doing it. but since many friends here in HK are really into yoga and there are tons of yoga studios conveniently located around the city, i became motivated to try it. last week i took my first two trial yoga classes at a yoga studio with two other friends, one of whom was already a member. my other friend and i went ahead and signed up for a membership, and we vowed to take the classes together to serve as motivation for each other.

so far i'm really enjoying the yoga classes... although the last class was pretty intensive and now, 4 days later, my muscles are still sore and aching! but i'm really looking forward to the health and toning benefits of yoga. hey, doesn't Madonna practice yoga? and look what great shape she's in at her age!
