working up to it

[Guest guest]

Thanks for your words of support. I am self

conscious, misplaced as that may be, so reading all the

postings helps. My partner and I are going to look for the

centre today, so that I'll know how to get there next

week (driving in Edinburgh is even more stressful that

going to that first class, given I'm still getting used

to driving on the left side of the road, and don't

know my way around very well). I think I'll hit a drop

in class, and then speak with a teacher afterward

about my time limitations and how to proceed from

there. <br><br>Monkeymind, it's funny you mentioned the

Alexander Technique, because that was one of the first

approaches I tried in addressing my poor posture. I bought a

book (I just remember the cover being blue with yellow

lettering), and practiced the sequences within it. It didn't

have the powerful impact on my mind, body and spirit

the way the astanga yoga has, and I didn't stick with

it for long.
