Time for a mental and emotional tuneup i think.
Conspiracy theories and my lifestyle are going to put me into an early grave.

Iv'e been interested in the benefits of yoga for ever but it's always been a kind of subliminal thing tucked away at the back of my head.
Well i watched how to pay off your mortgage in 2 years tonight and saw the most inspirational couple.
Lucy Aldridge and Daniel Harding.
On top of the fact that Lucy is realy fit and has the ideal personality i want in a woman , i was quite inspired by their lives.
I don't have a clue about which sort of yoga to try but i know i want inner wellbeing as well as the physical stuff.
Idealy something that i can practice at home, half an hour here and there to begin with.
Anyone

Well,
I wasn't sure who she was so checked out her website, she's not bad looking and damn flexible, PLUS she offers private tuition!

"Lucy takes private classes allowing an individual to experience a yoga practice on a personal level rather than in a class situation."

I like the sound of that!

I thought they were a very inspirational family. The way they all interacted with each other was a joy.

The burner is a great product but at around £1200 PROFIT per unit i do worry about how long it will be before the taxman takes a huge bite out of his sandy backside.

I wish them all the luck in the world.

Do you have wear sandals, listen to whale noises and take up yoghurt knitting as well?

I was recommended taking up yoga about a year ago by a lovely Indian doctor. I was ill on and off for about three months. He said that I needed to find inner spiritual well-being as the mind and body need to work together to achieve optimum health. I did not take up his advice because I prefer more physical, high impact activity. I know a couple of lads who do it at my gym and they are very strong, flexible and toned. Maybe I should give it a go.

in danger of giving you all the impression I am a Lentalist....I used to do yoga in a class and really enjoyed it - had to give it up in the end for time reasons(maybe I should have looked at the other things!) Various different types, we used to do Hatha I think which is the relaxing and stetchy stuff rather than the really complicated balance on your ear type. It really helped relax you and improved your flexabilty no end, I always fell asleep at the end and the 1.5 hrs used to fly by. Fun trying to not look at the fatter people attemping to cross their legs or touch their toes and you get a few botty/f***y farts as additional amusements! I would try a class first to get the moves right before you do home stuff but easy enough to do on your own and it is amazing how many yoga moves cross over it general physio etc.
