We have a very strong program at the YMCA I belong to so it also very low cost.<br /><br />Over the years I have had long periods where I adopted one or more regulare exercise routines. It was swimming in my 20's, bicycling and karate for a long stretch with some running and weights. There were also long periods where hiking was the routine. Yoga has now become my central form of exercise.<br /><br />I think that people often go through these kinds of shifts by virtue of interest and physical capabilities. I think that for now, in my fifties, yoga is something that can carry my into my seventies. Maybe it will, but if the pattern holds I will either drop it and adopt something else, or continue with it. Que sera, sera.D.

What a great quality. I do think that yoga can exercise that vigor, for what it's worth. It's a misconception that yoga is all about relaxation.<br /><br />ReRe: Starting anything in pregnancy is a challenge, IMO. Esp. fitness - the increased relaxin in your system can play havoc with stability.<br /><br />Wendy: That is truly a scary thought.<br /><br />J: It's a great commitment for your 41st year!<br /><br />Mardel: Sometimes it's just a matter of finding the right class environment. Have you thought of getting a private teacher for a few weeks, to teach you the basics and build confidence?<br /><br />Tiffany: Love that! What a commitment you have.<br /><br />Bel: Why doesn't that surprise me :-) (The kundalini part, not the not-doing it part...)<br /><br />Ann: I hear you!<br /><br />Sara: Look around. Yoga Journal has some great Iyengar resources. And just email with any questions.<br /><br />Style Odyssey: Nothing better than an empty room! My "sewga" room (combo sewing and yoga) used to be entirely empty but for props, then sewing came along and it's messing with my minimalism :-)K.Linehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350615302797686048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-84916840120495543812010-08-05T18:01:13.010-04:002010-08-05T18:01:13.010-04:00i absolutely love yoga, and don't currently ha...i absolutely love yoga, and don't currently have enough of it in my life. <br />i just moved and have a largish room devoid of furniture (but currently full of boxes), that i plan to dedicate to my yoga practice...as soon as i get finished unpacking all those boxes!Style Odysseyhttp://styleodyssey.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-12277610142368724762010-08-05T15:20:58.443-04:002010-08-05T15:20:58.443-04:00I love that idea of practicing and developing a pr...I love that idea of practicing and developing a practice over time. When I first began my (Ashtanga) yoga practice, it was a huge mental reboot for me. It centered me and made me think about my body and my self very differently. It remains very important to me, though very different from what it was to me. <br /><br />But you have me thinking seriously about Iyengar yoga. With this recent injury, it feels like it would be more appropriate for me right now. I love, too, how reapproaching yoga from a different perspective makes it all feel new and fresh again.

I was going to a great class for a while, then when it shut down, I was doing home practice, but eventually called up my teacher and now I have a one-on-one with her once a week, plus try to fit in at least another four sessions myself. Iyengar all the way. It is one of the only things I do for myself, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11536212906241844509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606088928583067206.post-18039273699090306202010-08-04T17:35:49.284-04:002010-08-04T17:35:49.284-04:00I haven't done yoga either and am rather self ...I haven't done yoga either and am rather self conscous about trying in a group setting, just because I have my own movement issues.
