Long Island

I'm enjoying my visit to my parents in Morrisville, PA. Today, we're with my sister and her family in West Islip. The children are playing Wii. Jessica has invited me to play, but I was too slow to say "yes." Now, she's moved on to offering to help her mother with preparing the brussel sprouts. Jessica is checking out my posting. Neither of us knows how to spell the sprouts' first name. Mark, Jr. wants to know if he's in the posting. He doesn't want to be included. Now Kristin is playing Wii ping pong. It looks as if she's having fun although the moves with the Wii stick don't look like the same moves one would make with an actual ping pong paddle. I'm curious about the Wii yoga.

Partner Yoga

I had a great time yesterday when Laura King invited me to Suze Curtis's Power Yoga studio in Addison for a 2 hour partner yoga session. The studio had a 5/8s inch foam floor, unlike anything I've ever seen. It was firm enough to support balancing moves, yet soft enough to feel comfortable sitting or lying down. When we started doing inversions, I was glad for the softer surface to cushion any falls--and surprise! We didn't have any falls. Laura is especially strong from her work with tree yoga. I managed to hang in there and keep going. I did okay with the 85 degree room temperature, although even I could have enjoyed a cooler room. Today, I'm headed to McKinney for an 1 1/2 restorative yoga session with Brandie at Yoga Balance. What fun!
