After almost three years, I’ve started back at yoga classes. I did try on-line classes during COVID, but I’m crap at that level of self-discipline – I like being in a class with others. When I got to Orkney, first there was the tail-end of Delta variant, then Omicron, so still no in-person classes. But last month I finally signed up for weekly classes at the local community centre, ‘The Picky’ (The Pickaquoy Centre). Going to classes has got me back into doing practices at home too.
In the past it was difficult to do yoga with a 62-lb doodle licking either my face or my feet during downward-dog. But Scout is more mature now and doesn’t need to actually be involved in the poses anymore. Although, clearly I couldn’t do this without some kind of coaching – this is her beside me as I wrap up with savasana pose.
