I’m sure it’ll get easier; as you know I think it’s awesome exercise. I’m sure doing full-on yoga up to about 24 weeks is why I haven’t had the back problems that all the doctors expected despite my ridiculous current body shape. Or at least that’s my theory and I’m sticking to it.

Actually I had to be helped into one pose because my quads are so tight! After the session the instructor asked if it was challenging enough. I’m definitely at beginner level right now.

Tricky for athletes I know, but it should be slow development, not just using your strength to force the poses to happen :-)

Lecture over ;-)
