I tried Yoga in my youth. & only succeeded in winding the teacher up.. Lol the guy actually threatened to "punch me out"..
I used to be an "angry young man" hopped up & irritated by high BS. I find a focus on music helps me imensly these days.. Mainly metal & punk.

I started doing it years ago, pre diagnosis mainly for the flexibility improvements. I'm a runner adn cyclist and also spend time sitting in cars, planes, trains etc all of which tend to lead to tight hamstrings and then other issues.Anyone else do yoga here, How beneficial is it for diabetics?

True but I don't think yoga is just all about calmy calmy either. I've noticed that when you practise an asana or pose that is difficult for you - in my case, cobra and boat used to give me real grief - you do develop the strength for them gradually over time. Within reason, of course. Past injuries prevent me attempting some asanas, but I can work out my own versions and paths towards them. So strength as well as flexibility.
His view is of the practice as a prayer with the inward focus on the breath rather the outcome being the thing to aim for. I haven't got there yet either.

So I shouldn't have given myself a mental fist-bump when I broke my personal headstand record this eveningBut not in me, I admit!
25 breaths last timeI am a yoga teacher and whilst we shouldn't be aiming for records... headstands are my fav... so what was your record Dave?
