Today was my first shot at the more intense Yoga 2 CD. It's very strange because I found myself really struggling through some of the Yoga poses but I was very relaxed at the end of it all to the point that I drifted out of conciousness towards the very end of the CD.
I really believe that Yoga is a good place to observe difficult physical sensations and condition your body to relax into the sensations. During Yoga one encounters very difficult poses and stretches and you are encouraged by Jon Kabat-Zinn to relax into the pose, relax into a pose that makes you feel like your tendons are on fire, are you kidding me. Sure it's easy to think about quitting and get discouraged while I experience discomfort but I keep my eye on the big picture and I then understand that it's all worthwhile.
I do plan on joining a Yoga class once I have a bit more income coming my way. I want to join a class just to have more interaction with a group of strangers and to step out of my comfort zone. Once I join the class I will create a seperate section for that and keep you posted on my experience with that.
