I retired from nursing in May last year (my birthday gift to myself).
I took a part time job at
Quest Fitness and started working the front desk.
After a while, I thought about trying out some of the classes there and then I thought of all the reasons why this was a bad idea: I’m out of shape! I haven’t done an in-person exercise class in years! I don’t remember how to use any of the equipment! And so forth, ad nauseum. Plus, there were a lot of different types of classes (over 60!) and teachers and I had no idea where to even start.

I needed a strategy!

I was only feeding myself last Friday night, so I decided to make a pizza for one from a piece of Naan and some leftover tomato sauce and mozzarella in the fridge. I turned the oven on to preheat and then went back to working on my computer.

My friend Holly, acupuncturist and yoga teacher extraordinaire, is offering a 3 Day (Free) Yin Yang Yoga Challenge.
I love a challenge!
I also love sleep.
This challenge requires getting up at 7am (almost dawn!) three days in a row, two of which I was planning on, um, not doing that.
Then I saw Holly’s FB live last night, inviting those of us who like to sleep in (me! me!) to consider getting out of bed early to participate live. What could I do?
She had my number, as they say.
Maybe she has yours, too.
It’s not too late to join! You participate from the comfort of your own home and no special props are required—you can truly come as you are. It lasts about half an hour. Watch (and practice along!) with the replay from this morning’s class, “I am worthy”, which is posted in the group. Then join us live this Saturday and Sunday (2/1/20 and 2/2/20) morning at 7am.
