Yoga Update

I'm really loving my yoga classes. I haven't looked forward to a workout this much in a long time; as soon as the class is over I'm bummed that I have to wait to recover before I can go again. The teachers are extremely different in their styles and approaches. Today was a little slower but more intense with longer holds on the poses. I am proud to say I managed a full headstand for the first time.

The yoga score so far: classes = 4, injuries to self = 0, injuries to others = 0. So far so good.

Happy New Year!

In celebration of the new year, one of my orchids bloomed this morning! It is the special hybrid plant I bought at an orchid show last year because it was so striking: brown and green leopard spot leaves with a purple and white "tongue." This is the first time I've gotten it to bloom at home. This photo really doesn't do it justice, but it gives you an idea.
