Yes, I agree! They should have gyms that are just

giant sandboxes for people to run around in! No

kitties allowed!

Pretty!

> That Ashtanga Yoga is so HARD, how do you do that?

> I'm jealous of you for being able to do that!

Don't be jealous, I've been doing it for 5 years! I

still modify poses all the time, such as side angle

plank - I can do it for a good 25 seconds or so then

it's back to doing it with one knee down. I still

can't do crow or the splits. It took me a good couple

of years to do plough. Only recently was I able to do

the prayer twist while lunging, prior I always had a

knee down too.

The good news is that it's so exhiliarating when you

can finally do something you've been working at for so

long!

The other good news is that there are lots of

tapes/dvd's that aren't as tough as the gym. I really

like Hemaleya Behl's Yoga for Urban Living (cheapy at

Ross) quite a bit. Now if they only had Learn

Volleyball in your Home While it's Raining Outside

videos..

Serve!
