I thought yoga might be a good easy way to improve my flexibility and general health. First session yesterday of a 'therapeutic' yoga class. Very kind and careful teacher. Oh boy it was hard. Just lying about stretching and pushing. Despite the freezing temperatures I ended up sweating. I'm sore in places I didn't know I had!
Getting down on the floor was hard but getting back up harder still. I'm so stiff and sore this morning that it must be doing me good!
I'll stick with it. Surely it'll get easier.

The others laughed at me and said I was like the princess and the pea as I found the yoga mat so thin. I'm bruised today on my (mercifully few) bony bits. I suppose it's because I don't have the muscle control to lower myself gently and go down with a thump. It's an old building. I hope the foundations are up to my repeated visits.
