I found a leaflet in my letterbox a couple of days ago, informing me of a tai chi Open Day prior to classes starting in my neighbourhood from next week.
For years, I used to take yoga classes in Amsterdam; but I gave it up after I gave up working at hp, simply because I no longer had any reason to be in the area...I do miss it, though. Unfortunately, as I'm no good at exercising and meditating on my own, I've never found an alternative closer to home offering classes at a time and place to suit me. So when this leaflet arrived, an idea popped into my head: why don't I go and give it a try?
My first proper lesson starts Wednesday evening, and I'm really looking forward to it. Just looking at the demonstration today made me feel calmer and more relaxed than I have in weeks!

In a sense, yoga was for me and all. I took it up (i.e. was dragged into it by my best friend, who'd been a practitioner for years) during a particularly stressful period in my life, and it helped me so much. I loved it so much, actually, that I took a Teacher Training Course and I had just started teaching, when I managed to injure one of my ankles so badly that I had to give it up -- temporarily, I thought, but it took almost 3 years and by then, I'd decided to leave the day job...
I'm glad you're finding it equally beneficial to your (mental) health.
I've been tempted to do the yoga teacher training where I take my yoga classes, but it is a bit on the pricey side...do you think you might take it up again sometime?
