Getting Zinged

Looking at my daughter's Facebook page, I noticed that a mutual friend had told her that I started taking yoga.  My daughter's reaction, and I quote, was "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...my dad...yoga...lol"  Ouch.  Well, it's week two, and I just finished my third session at EastMeetsWest Yoga in Buffalo.  The instructors have been terrific
and I am learning quite a lot, and enjoying it more than I'd expected.  Its really interesting to see and feel how the stretches work, and to begin to related specific positions to speedskating protocols...things like eagle position, which closely parallel the balance points you seek on skates.
