Yoga

Yoga is fun. Fun and challenging. There are times when I'm holding a pose that's fairly difficult (for me anyway) and in my mind I'm begging the instructor to END IT ALREADY. At those times I'm not so fond of yoga. But in the end, I feel good and I'm always glad I did it.

I recently bought a yoga DVD called "Yoga for Athletes" for those times I can't/won't get to the gym. On the one hand, doing the routines in the comfort of my own home is great; I can dress however I want, do it at any time of the day or night and don't have to worry about what the person behind me is thinking of the size of my butt. But on the other hand......CATS AND DOGS! I can't even count the number of times I have to tell Augie to "GO" or push a cat off of me. Apparently laying on the floor makes you fair game. At one point I was making my best effort to breathe correctly, find my happy place and hold a Downward Facing Dog, when Augie decided to stand underneath me and lick my face. When I tried to scold him, he got nervous (but stayed where he was), turned around and started licking his junk. Then he wanted to kiss me again. UGH. 

Ultimately it ends up still being a good workout - just slightly less peaceful than I think yoga is supposed to be.  =)
