It wasn&#8217;t easy &#8212; I wish I had done this 20 years ago when I was still young and fit!  But saying that, I am much fitter now than I was when I started the course 5 weeks ago. One of the real benefits I see is that I now know where my weak spots are, and where my strengths are.  I will be stretching and practicing at home on a regular basis to correct the weaknesses and to build on the strengths.  <\/p>\n<p>What follows is a piece of advice (stop reading now if you don&#8217;t want it&#8230;..)  <\/p>\n<p>For those of you who are still young and strong, I cannot stress enough how critical it is to keep your practice up.  Once you hit your 40&#8217;s (or like me, are close to 50) you loose tone and strength so quickly it&#8217;s scary.  You don&#8217;t really believe it when you are young and fit.  When I was younger, I believed I was invincible and would never really show ageing.  But then one day you wake up, and there are pains where they didn&#8217;t exist before.  It comes on when you don&#8217;t even realize it.  I slowed down my yoga practice when life (or rather, work) got in the way in my early 40&#8217;s.  DON&#8217;T LET THAT HAPPEN TO YOU!  Find time for yoga.  Always.  It will make your life much happier and healthier in the long run.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I am back in it now, and couldn&#8217;t be happier.  This has been a fantastic 5 weeks, and I love the results.  <\/p>\n<p>Next step &#8211; gain more experience teaching!!!!   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What a relief!
