I’ve discovered that the hardest thing about yoga is actually rolling out your mat and doing it. I’ve been consistently inconsistent with practicing 2-3 times a week. Mostly I just ended up going straight to the Savasana, in bed, which is easily done after a day of work.
However I’m pleased to say I have managed to get 20 minutes in somewhere once a week, and I feel better for it.

I’m starting to find the poses and routines easier, and I can almost touch my toes which is something I’ve had difficulty with for a long time. I’m not sure if my yoga gains are translating into my climbing just yet, but I’m hopeful that high foot moves and anything stretchy will begin to get a little easier. Generally it just feels good, almost like a declutter for the body and brain. I think sticking to once a week is the best plan for now, as a little is better than none.
Once I get a little more confident with my poses and balance, I’m going to try and get A Boy Who Climbs to do some crazy Acro-Yoga with me. He is not aware of this plan just yet, so we’ll see how that goes in the next update!
