I definitely appreciate yoga now for the time to NOT be rushed and efficient. It’s such a good de-stresser and so calming, even if it’s a hard class. Have fun!

Recently, I started doing the Firm Power Yoga DVD at home and it’s really helped my flexibility. When I don’t have the energy for something fast-paced, the yoga is quiet and relaxing. And it doesn’t take long, so I have the time for it.
