Just in case I hadn't whined enough about the weather here - I wanted to take this opportunity to complain that on Saturday May 28th we are apparently going to have a high of 39 degrees with rain/snow. Blech. I hate winter weather... especially when it's practically summer! It's getting sooo old.
I guess I'll be hiding in my house with hot tea for a little while longer. I'll be meditating and trying to do a little restorative yoga over the weekend. Adam is on a baking kick, so there will also be plenty of pie to keep us warm.
Yoga Tip: Long holds of headstands build heat. By long holds I mean around 5 minutes or more. Depending on your level of practice. You can save time by doing a long headstand instead of 6 sun salutations near the beginning of a practice.
