Thinking About Yoga ...

I've often thought about trying yoga. I've read so many articles where it was *briefly* mentioned as part of some very slim and totally fit person's fitness regimen and wondered if there was more to it than just exercise for days when you need a break from the really physical stuff.

I've  also considered it *thin person* exercise ... you have to be thin and agile to be able to stretch and bend and move around like yoga demands right?

Apparently I've got it all wrong.

I was checking out a recipe posted at Simply Real Food (yes, the post for Roasted Corn and Poblano Pizza which I won't be making because all the dairy in it will just take me over the edge but oh, it looks so yummy!!!) and I scrolled down a bit and saw a post about yoga for weight loss.

I have to admit the opening comments about yoga being great to reduce stress, which produces cortisol which leads to weight gain caught my eye. It made sense.

So I continued on ... well ... I'm not going to rewrite the whole post ... check it out ... yoga for weight loss.

I'm thinking maybe I should pull out a few of those yoga DVDs and VHS tapes (yep -- I still have a VCR and tapes ... why throw them away when they can still be used? I've started watching some of my old favorite movies that I have on VHS while working out on my elliptical machine!) that I've been holding on to for all these years waiting to get thin enough to give them a try. And maybe I'll give them a try even though I'm not thin (YET!)

And now, back to Simply Real Food to see what other real food recipes Chanelle might have lurking about in her archives!
