namaste

Yoga class last night was just what I needed to wind down from the week... It was great.
They turn off the lights, so its nice and dark and you can really relax. I have never done a proper Yoga class like that, always thought about it but never actually went. I like it. Will definitely schedule some more in.. :)
Something I just found out:
Hatha Yoga came from the words "ha" which means "sun" and "tha" which means "moon". It is often translated as the branch of Yoga that brings union of the pairs of opposites referring to the positive (sun) and negative (moon) currents in the system.
Just perfect!

yes, isn't yoga just lovely! :)
it's my favourite kind of 'workout'
and very interesting reading about the origins and meanings behind the poses.
i'm glad you enjoyed it.

turning the lights down sounds like a good idea - would certainly help with the relaxation. good to hear you're enjoying all those new experiences.
