Om

Finally feeling on the improve after weeks of feeling less than great! I think yoga helps - well, it certainly doesn't harm!


I am really pleased with this new school and teacher - Sue at http://www.yogaforlife.com.au/ . I am doing the easy does it class on Monday mornings and last week I also did a Rest and Renew class on the Thursday night, to make up for the one I missed. I enjoyed that so much I shall try and get to it regularly.


What is great is the fact that individual needs are not just recognised but are a key focus of the class. There are plenty of props to help you achieve the asanas, but if you cannot, then alternatives are offered just for you. I like that respect. My last class was more focused on keeping up.


So another of my 2008 goals can be ticked off! Now to maintain it :)

Sick and tired

I came down with a virus a few weeks ago ... and am still fighting it! Rodney had it first and we have all taken it in turns. Kaitlyn is battling swollen glands and a sore throat, even though she has been on two courses of antibiotics for an ear infection (the doctor is muttering about glandular fever) and now Kieran has been struck down with it. I keep thinking I must be on the improve, then another round of sysmptoms arise. Totally and utterly fed up. I missed yoga class last week but made it yesterday, that really showed up how fatigued my body is. I haven't felt like this for ages. Of course, the MS and fibromyalgia both love a run down body and take their pleasure in flaring up, so the whole cycle rolls on. I am almost living on fresh fruit and vitamins to help fight it!!
