Went to visit my dad in the nursing home yesterday. We went to yoga class.

Now I have not walked far since I hurt my knee I early November, but darned if I did not break into a sweat sitting on a chair and stretching joins. The embarrassing part is that nobody else was sweating and most of the people there were over the age of 85. I need to get this knee healthy again (i'm getting there) and then get back in shape.

1. Yoga is one of those things that looks easy but is not.

I found out the hard way when I first took a yoga class.

2. It was my first class. I was not expecting the rotation of multiple joints

to be so taxing. Then again I overheat easily. But still.

3. I know, it looks so simple, and like no one is really exerting themselves.

Looks like a piece of cake.

But then you get drenched in sweat and cannot move the next day.

4. Ha! I wasn't even on a mat. We were on chairs. At least i'm not alone.

5. The mats are part of it. How hard can something be when you

have these comfortable mats to lie on....

I do like yoga, it is good for so many reasons.
But it will take you through your paces.

6. Thanks. I will look forward to doing it again.
