Twice done is well begun

Wow, I had no idea you could get this kind of energy high off yoga. I certainly don't remember ever being this hyper after a session in my previous attempts at taking classes in it. Today I took the gentle Hatha class - standard Hatha poses modified slightly for those with injuries or disabilities and much slower than a standard class. Not that Hatha moves all that quickly, if I recall correctly.

So the flowers to the left represent how my back feels after that session -- nice and open. Okay, not completely so; I still have quite a few twinges in my lower back, but I am optimistic that yoga will help, especially as visits to the chiro have been limited in their benefit.

The flowers were in the gardens of an art museum in Dallas, in full bloom a year and a couple weeks ago when I visited a friend who had just moved back there. It was taken with my Fujifilm Finepix A210 -- and now I look at that picture to compare with the even better ones I take with my Olympus and just sigh happily. Camera love. :D
