On 1 September I started Yoga. Much like the change in season and its associations with spring-cleaning, renewal and regrowth, it was an opportunity for me to try something new that offered a host of health benefits. Actually, it was suggested to me by Margaret Ellis from All Over Health. I affectionately call her my blood lady because I’ve been going to her for live blood analysis for about a year now.
She is a qualified Reflexologist and Iridologist. A few weeks ago, after she performed iridology on me, which entailed taking a number of high resolution pictures of my eyes at various angles and analysing it, she said to me that I’m vegetative spastic. She keeps reassuring me every time she says this that she’s not insulting me :)
What this actually means is that “it’s a disposition of a highly energetic personality, someone who is goal-orientated, driven and prone to overwork and then burnout”. I’ve always just assumed that my go-go-ness was part of who I was and for as long as I can remember have struggled with calming my mind and just ‘switching off’.
So not only would yoga be good to still my mind and improve my mental concentration, but it offers a number of other benefits like losing weight, detoxing, developing muscle tone, improving flexibility, building immunity and releasing endorphins. I did research and found Yo Yoga in Claremont. They offer a number of yoga classes but I tried the Yo Bikram, which consists of 26 postures performed in a heated room (up to 40°C) for 90 minutes.
