Yoga: Breaking Through
I’ve been to over 30 Yoga classes now and I am LOVING IT. 1.5 sweaty hours 3-4 times a week is awesome. I’m finally able to really do bow pose well. I used to could just barely grab my legs and now I can actually pull myself up like this…
And only recently have I been able to do this pose that I saw Jeremy Piven do on Entourage.
And it seems that Sting and Madonna were on the right track by starting Yoga years ago. I remember when the news reported that Madonna was throwing out all of her weights and only doing Yoga. Now she’s including it in her performances on stage.
And I really don’t know why Sting is nude and covered with mud in this Tree pose, but he does Yoga religiously as well.
You must take a look at this video to see what I am talking about… at 2:35 seconds this guy does an amazing pose. Yoga is the ultimate physical challenge.

And now even schools are offering Yoga to students to help relieve stress. It’s all the rage and with good reason, I’ve never felt better.

I never did get very much into yoga, though I learned many years ago that the plough pose was a better cure for most headaches than any aspirin and now my creaky old body resists getting into the plough and when I do, it is not much of a relief, just a shifting of pain from one point to another.

I love yoga, but I haven’t done it in awhile. It’s a bit difficult if you can’t lay on your stomach. Not that I could do anything like that guy did. The only one I could do is the headstand, until he changed it into forearm pose. I can’t do that one either. That was insane.
