I'll be with P-Cubed Oasis, probably somewhere around 8 and C. Come say hi! 4) I'll be checking in on your yoga practice as a prompt to continue my writing practice. (And my dance practice, and my own (fairly sporadic) yoga practice, and my other fitness practices.) So, yah know, no pressure. ;) (I'm teasing, of course. I will check in with you, but I put no responsibility for my own life on your shoulders.)

The support of a teacher leading the class and all the other students going through the same thing is a great motivator for me. I'm so sorry that you got attitude while signing up for a yoga class. There's no room in yoga for attitude. Thanks for your kind comments and best wishes for your own yoga practice. Erin, I find it very difficult to practice by myself.

I just got back from 6 months of living in Africa where the heat (and probably some general laziness) made it difficult to continue my yoga practice solo. The class I have attended for three years started this week so I rushed over (flush from the plane) to sign up and sigh...it was full. And the lady who put me on the waiting list gave me a lot of attitude. I was left in a distinctly non-yoga mindset. But I have to admit your frequent practice is inspiring! Ack!
