How I did it: I went to Greece on a month long college course on Ancient Athenian Culture and Archaeology. We spent most of the time in Athens but also went to Olympia, Delphi and a day trip to Aegina.

I went to two yoga classes last week and they kicked my butt! I have muscles aching that I didn’t even know I had!
I got a little discouraged because almost all of the other people in the classes seemed more advanced that I was. However I know that it is a slow process to gain flexibility and strength that I’m not used to using. So I’m looking forward to achieving some of the balancing stances and a headstand.
So my first day I tried to go to a yoga class it had filled before I got there. Guess I have to find time in my schedule to not only go to yoga but show up thirty minutes early! I peeked in on the class and it looks fun. I’m going to try to get up early for Saturday morning yoga and hope it has some openings!
