Yoga! For Science!

I haven't been doing enough yoga lately. I've been too distracted by the whole weight-training and better nutrition thing. I have to work pretty hard to build up habits and then I have to work even harder to integrate new habits side by side with the old. It's a problem.


Anyway, the point that I was getting around to - is that it's fairly obvious that I haven't been doing enough yoga. Not only because my backbends are already getting a little worse and my neck muscles are feeling tight... but because I have been in a foul mood. Yoga has always had a very nice chippering-up effect on me. There was a time when I had rage problems, but once I had thoroughly taken on yoga it pretty much went away. I became much more calm and level-headed. Lately - not so much. Bring back the yoga! Before I flip out on someone. Please.


It's not just me either - Science has proven yoga's magical mood-lifting abilities. Read about it HERE. (from Allure magazine of all places) Not that there's anything wrong with Allure. I just don't usually consider it my go-to reading material for all things Science.

More yoga - I'm putting it on the To Do List. Definitely.
