So glad to hear that, onesnowyowl! My best friend is advanced in yoga now (she has been doing it for seven years) and I am amazed at how much more toned, flexible, and fit she is. We played high school soccer together and we were both fit then but now she is on a whole different level now. She is in the best shape of her life at 30 and promotes the benefits of yoga just by looking the way she does! I always had this misconception that yoga was a relaxing, light workout - how wrong I was... holding those poses is a cardio workout in itself, not to mention the breathing and control involved. You have to be totally present, you can't think about anything else in that moment. It's really amazing.
