Whoever said knitting is relaxing? I have been struggling with my first lace project for several weeks now. After many trips to the frog pond, I am stressed out. I have been very irritable, tense and unable able to concentrate. In other words, miserable....
In order to make life happy for those who live with me, I decided it was high time to de-stress myself....no, I did not go out shopping for more yarn nor did I start a new knitting project!
I decided to look for a yoga class...yes, yoga. I did not have to search very far for a calm and serene environment. I found the Yoga Lounge,only two blocks away. Since I did not want to try this alone and they had a 2 for 1 deal, I convinced my mother-in-law to join me for the Monday evening gentle hatha class with Sarah. I thought the keyword to the class description was gentle...wow, were we led down the garden path. It was quite the workout. We worked up a sweat; and they called this a gentle class?
Overall, my first yoga experience was a very good one. I think I will return to the Yoga Lounge and continue to de-stress myself. I believe it is a good investment in my well-being. Now if I could find a pose that will allow me to focus on my breathing, stretches and knitting at the same time....hmmm?

I know just the thing you need for your yoga class....yoga socks! Check out my sidebar for the link to Justine's blog in Australia. I am almost finished a pair for my sister, who does yoga, (have given her one of them already). They will definately get you in the mood!
Lace would stress me too....
But being a knitter, all I could think of looking at the yoga room picture was 'What a great place to have a knitting group!'
Now that is cool! Yoga socks will definitely be on my WIP list very soon!
