When we lived in Australia, they had a Health and Wellness month towards the end of winter. The school I taught at, Catholic College Bendigo, decided to offer free yoga lessons to all staff for 6 weeks. The deal included any family members at a cost of $5 per lesson. Tough to pass up, but a surprisingly small amount of staff took up the offer.
My daughter and husband did decide to join me in the afterschool sessions though. We had our own private, or should I say corporate, instructor. The class started off with a group of about 15 but as the weeks went on, we barely had 5 attendees.
This was my first experience with practicing yoga on a regular basis. Clearly it left an impression on my daughter, as she took up yoga and has had a regular practice for over 5 yrs!
Thus it was that she asked me to join her for a 90 minute morning yoga session during my last visit to Ottawa. Are you kidding me?? I haven’t done any kind of regular exercise for years, let alone twist myself into a pretzel for more than 15 minutes. Don’t worry she said! This is Yin Yoga.

It’s amazing! I only wish I could go to this class more than once a week. Next time, I might take Leon too. So relaxing!

I never heard of this type of yoga. I’ll have to look into this. I wouldn’t have to worry about loosing my balance. 😅
