I could really use a good year, so I'll take any good omens I can find.
I think it's great that yoga can do that for you! We may renew our membership in a health club this summer, and I've always wanted to look into that. I'm a bit nervous about being in a group of women though.
I haven't done group exercise since I was 120 pounds and convinced I was ginormous at anything more than 117. Boy, those were the days. Aerobics to early eighties music. :) I still can't hear "Islands in the Stream" without wanting to reach my toes.
I'd rather do yoga with tapes at home, but honestly I can't find a patch of floor big enough to do it in.
I'm going to be painting my house the next few months, and I'm hoping that qualifies as exercise.
So yoga is helping you accept yourself as you are, or is it helping you change how you look? I don't think anything will help me accept myself as I am because I look like my mother, and that's just intolerable. Even if she looked like Morgan Fairchild (and she doesn't) that would be intolerable.
