Update: Take THREE… March 2011
Wednesday, November 25, 2009 – completed Candlelight Yoga @ 16:30 … feeling so stiff & achy daily in my neck & shoulders… but, much more flexible than when I started last month. *only skipped 3 days since starting in October
What began with a goal of just 15 days in a row has continued to almost double that…
Friday, November 13, 2009 – day 26 in a row
dvds used: “Crunch: Candlelight Yoga“, “A.M. and P.M. Yoga“, “10 Minute Solution: Yoga“
