I tried a demo class of Will Power and Grace yesterday, and can hardly move my legs today :-) Many of the moves I have seen before, in the good old days as an aerobics instructor ( although we always wore shoes then) . Not entirely certain its for me, but its fun and dynamic, and very reminiscent of the 80s feeing the burn...where are my leg warmers?

Whoa, not sure I will ever be able to do this? but good to observe how it is done.

This was shared by a twitter friend Mel-Funny poke at a number of things I can relate to.

On a recent trip to Wiltshire to practice yoga, I stayed at this beautiful hotel; Bishopstrow House. Having had months of "full-on" work commitments, this was a real treat indeed. My room was beautiful and looked out over a private garden that made me think of Watership Down, with rabbits (that looked rather big, but then again I am a true Londoner) hopping around the lawn. I had an evening swim in the heated outdoor pool, which is a rarity in itself; finding an outdoor pool in the UK that is actually warm enough to swim in.

I have been very fortunate to be able to practice yoga with Nancy many times. She is a wonderful teacher, both on and off the mat. On her recent travels, I was able to catch up with Nancy in a few different locations, which really enabled me to progress in my physical yoga practice.
