Finally managed to arrive in time to take a yoga class tonight. My wife and I have been wanting to attend this for a while, but just couldn’t quite manage to swing it. I’ve always liked to stretch, but just don’t take the time to do it. I don’t think I’ll ever want to own a mat or a block, but DANG - it was a seriously constructive hour and a half. Almost every move and pose was an anti-bike position, which meant a bit of popping and dekinking accompanied the effort.
But, now, a couple hours later, I feel better than I have in a long time. Whatever else cycling does for you, it also tends to reinforce itself, so you end up a little tighter here and there than is good for you. Breathing, centering, balance, relaxation and breathing. All good things.

Actually, yoga works really good, wish I could take the time to do it…
