Yoga for Myron?

Yes. We went to a Yoga class on Saturday morning.

You may ask why. So I will tell you.

We started a physical fitness program with a personal trainer last week. Our goals were 3...lose weight, lose inches and get more fit. We both run and exercise quite regularly. We even watch our caloric intake and our carb of choice is a glass of wine, but age is becoming absolutely determined to keep the pounds on so we decided to try out the personal trainer route for one month and see if we see a difference.

So...3 days a week at 7:30am we work out for 90 minutes with Dave...our holistic, spiritual, natural food consuming personal trainer. He informs us that fitness is a combination of flexibility, endurance and strength. OK we get it.... so we begin..
He has us doing these core exercises that has us shaking, sweating and grunting on mats. He has Myron balancing on funky wobbly things with his eyes closed! Ha... you should see this...it could cause a grown man to cry. He has us doing nasty planks and other core exercises that look so easy and hurt so bad.
But that isn't even the worst... He has us eating Manna bread which is sprouted grains with spelt and flax and hemp and such... Myron puts cream cheese on his and I put butter on mine!
We have moved on to red wine versus white.

But Dave suggested that we do Yoga to help our flexibility, especially Myron... he has difficulty stretching and feeling one with the earth!

So you should have seen us doing: downward dog, little cobra, sun salutations, the dolphin, camel, tree pose, happy baby, and "f****ing" tired!!! But the best was meditation after the exhausting impossible stretches... Myron was ONE with the EARTH!!! He had an outer body experience and I was hard pressed not to laugh out loud...

Keep posted for more ramblings of our rebirth!!
