Downward Dog


My last yoga class was in the spring 2003. I was 9 months pregnant, round and flexible. I was getting $7 pre-natal massages at Sutherland Chan school; napping in the afternoons, caffeine-free and eating 6 little meals. The picture of health.

Nearly 5 years later, with stubborn baby pounds still on board and a sleep pattern I can only describe as "disturbed", I took up yoga again.

It's part of a new year plan (not resolution) to find some "me" time.

What can I say -- I walked in not being able to touch my toes and within an hour I was placing my palms flat on the floor. Here's to stretching the body and the mind. Let's see how I feel tomorrow!
