yoga: my drug of choice.

I guess I can't go on without saying that coffee is also my drug of choice. But today, yoga was it for me. Drug of choice, therapy, sanity-saver, pain relief, and so many things un-named. Now that I've moved it was time to find a space for doing yoga. At my old place I had space on the floor in my room. Not so much the case anymore. But now that the living room has been rearranged, a new yogaspace has been opened up to me. Yogaspace: a place in which to do yoga esp. a flat, hard surface without distractions, and ideally with some privacy. So that's what I did this afternoon.

Now I'm embarking on the (my dad will like this) pilgrimage-of-sorts to find a new place to take yoga classes. I have a few places that I'm going to check out, and I can't say that I've actually gotten off my tush to go check them out, but maybe I'll do that later this week. My body has been so out of yoga-shape lately since I've been waiting until a space was cleared that it's nice to know that there are some possibilities out there for classes to attend. And they're not that far away either!

... I left and had dinner while I was in the middle of this post and now I've forgotten exactly where I was going with this ... at any rate:

As I was saying, yoga is my drug of choice. It's amazing what it does for me. It loosens me up, it relaxes me, it helps me to be centered and balanced, it helps me stay calm, it helps my body feel better, it makes me feel healthier. I could go on and on. At any rate, bodies are pretty important things to keep healthy!

Before I ramble on about this any longer ...
