Monique Cycles Tibet and Moon Bear Rescue

Monday- the start of a new week. I decided to ease my way in so yoga was the order of the day, and the room is warm. That was where the love affair ended. I am not particularly good at yoga but Monday nights effort was awful and embarrassing. My body is so stiff that even the most basic poses were difficult and balance of any kind was a challenge. It was a gruelling 90 minutes that made me realise just how much flexibility declines unless you pay ongoing attention to it. Even more telling is how difficult it is to turn down the internal chatter of the mind, which yoga challenges you to do. Towards the end of the class this slowly starts to happen and I generally feel much more relaxed and enjoy a good nights sleep. Note to self- must do yoga at least once a week.
