Namaste

     I just got home from a yoga lesson with my mom.  The yoga was pretty challenging, especially the downward facing dog and the breathing while your posing.  (The breathing is harder than it sounds.) At the end of the class, Faith, the instructor, had a little raffle.  I won the second prize: a Gaiam water bottle, mat bag, and yoga strap.  Faith also gave us homemade meditation eye pillows made of brocade and lavender seeds.  They smell so soothing.  She also gave us Namaste t-shirts and a little notebook to record your progress in yoga.  I'll let you know how I'm progressing because tonight . . . my body was actually shaking!
