The yoga continues...

So today is day 60 since I restarted my yoga and I just wanted to have a little check in on how I'm doing.

Flexibility and strength: this has really improved. I was surprised I didn't lose much flexibility in the months I didn't attend yoga - I think sitting cross legged in my work chair has really helped to keep my hips open. I've built some additional flexibility and some strength in these few weeks; I've noticed that standing postures are less challenging, also Sam's normal classes feel a little straightforward at times.

Mood: a big improvement here. I've noticed I'm more upbeat and cheerful, and less stressed (although I still have the odd crisis moment).

Weight: I've actually put on a little weight (~1kg), but noticed that my trousers still fit ok so maybe this is muscle?

Finally, I've reignited the yoga fire. I find myself looking online for other yoga classes I can attend that will help me push to the next level. Also trying really hard not to blow my money on funky yoga leggings. (Goodness gracious I never knew a pair of glorified tights could be so expensive)
