Me: …
Me: “I dont think yoga is competitive.”

Cravings
In positive news, today I moved from “enjoying yoga” to “craving yoga every day.”
I strongly suspected for years that I would enjoy yoga, and now I really wish I would have looked into it many years ago.
I encourage everyone to make an effort to try yoga sooner than later – and really all those other things you’ve promised yourself you’d try “someday.”
Yoga Views
Just finished my third yoga session, just me and a yoga mat, watching a YouTube video in the living room. Super slow, super simple starter stuff. My first impressions are that:
1) Based on soreness later, I’m using my muscles much more than it feels like I am during the sessions. Which is awesome.
2) It’s very calming, just going through the motions. Which is really nice.
3) It’s all pretty easy to do right off the bat, but I can tell it would take a lifetime to perfect.
And 4) You’re working against your own weight, so let’s just say downward dog is pretty difficult when you weigh 400 lb.
Here’s the video I’ve been following:
