Throughout my training so far, flexibility and body awareness has been something I have really needed to work on. Perpetual training has helped of course, but a slightly different approach can do wonders.
Mel was interested in getting back into yoga for some time. I have never done it before, but I am never shy of trying something new. We did some research online and found a great establishment in Spruce Grove. For the past 5 months or so, we have attended yoga classes once a week. It's a warm flow with a bit of a slower pace. I have certainly felt the benefits. My hamstrings are particularly tight and many of the poses stretch them out. Even they are now beginning to limber up. I have been noticing greater awareness in my posture and stances as well due to the length of time we take each pose. Now I must take this awareness and apply it more to my kung fu training. This will take some time for sure, but will definitely be worth it.
Aside from the rewards already mentioned, it is an enjoyable way to stretch everything out and reinvigorate the mind and body.
Take care everyone.
