Oddly, I didn't take another class until TK invited me to go to a class with her last week. It was amazing. It's been a while since I did yoga regularly (cough cough... years... cough cough) and my practice has always been a home practice.
But the class I took (all levels Vinyasa) was eye opening. At 75 minutes, it was gentle yet strenuous. And I was sore for the next two days. It was totally worth it! TK, who has been doing yoga regularly for the past six months, claims it was easy. Oh....
So I took myself to a beginner vinyasa class. I figured that while my mind is not a beginner, it's been so long since I've done yoga, that the body is back in beginner mode. I really enjoyed this one too. The instructor was funny and really quite good at teaching the beginning yoga student. The class was 60 minutes and strenuous enough that my muscles felt like jelly afterwards. Still, I'm happy to report that I wasn't sore afterwards.
I've been practicing knitting as yoga for years now, but I don't think it really counts as exercise (unless you're trying to p3tbl). Happily, the garter stitch version of Montague's Muffler doesn't have any of those.
I wonder if I could knit in Child's pose,

I'd just like to think that someday I could sit on the floor and have my back straight and not have to be helped up! ;0) I think I'd like to sit like that more often and knit instead of sitting in a chair all the time.

Your sunset pictures were cool.
