Juneathon day 15: recovery on the mat

Written Jun 16, 2014, tagged under post,health,juneathon,yoga

A pretty quiet day today. We had a family trip to near Cambridge, so there was limited scope for activity. The main feature was therefore about 30 minutes of yoga, trying out part of a class prepared by Mrs H with her YogaByEllie hat on for someone this week.

Yoga is often written off as glorified post-exercise stretching, but to consider it that way is to miss out badly. "Yoga" is as varied as "exercise", covering a wide range of intensities and strengths. YogaByEllie practice is dynamic and strong: for me, the time always passes very quickly, and the exercise is helping many aspects of my strength and fitness above and beyond my other "traditional" activities. If you've never tried it, I would recommend giving it a go, probably trying a few different options to find one that suits you. And let me know how it goes!
