...if my favorite part of yoga is the part at the end, when we lie on the floor?
I like to think that I'm learning how to better appreciate the resting part of hard work. I mean, lying on the floor after my body works hard is more than just lying on the floor. It feels earned and lovely and necessary.
Or. It could just mean I'm a wimp.
am i a wimp...

My favorite part of running is playing video games later that evening.
nope...you've earned it. plus you're growing a human.
i had similar thoughts the other day when i was doing a yoga dvd. i do love the working part of yoga, but that lying down part (shivasana? or something? corpse pose...) is definitely lovely.
i beleve it's definitely earned also. speaking of yoga... i'm actually about to do that right now.
namaste.
Nah, you're not a wimp. That's my favorite part too (down dog is my second, I really love it after doing other tough positions). And after being through unmedicated childbirth 3 times, I know for sure I'm not a wimp. It one of those rewarding positions where you know you're "working" your body and it's bliss.
I think you deserve a big round of applause for just being in yoga. I cannot muster the patience to do yoga, or even just lie on the floor. (Instead I just eat chocolate to help my aching body.) Way to go.
jenny...i totally want to go natural with my next baby...you're my hero! we should chat.
janel...i'm with you. yoga is awesome if i can get myself to hold poses for more than 2 seconds. i just get bored!
kathy...i like your commenters. :)
doesn't sound wimpy to me. sounds about right. i'd love to join you someday!
Ha! That's totally how I feel. I don't think you're a wimp. I just think it's that relief of realizing you just did something incredible with your body.
haha!! wimp! j/k give yourself a break!! I want to hear more about how your pregnancy is going!! Hope all is well!
