New Beginning

Now that this class has ended, I find myself wanting to learn more. I finally started doing some yoga. I bought a dvd to try it out before I took an actually class. I liked it and I am continuing to do it. I find it a lot more difficult than what I had expected, but after the first few minutes, I seem to be able to do more already. I am surprised how much the breathing really helps. I also started reading a book called "The Longevity Factor" by Joseph Maroon. I use to work for Dr. Maroon. He is awesome and so is his philosophy about health. He is a neurosurgeon in Pittsburgh and he is a promoter of integral health. When I got to the part in the book about his treatment ideas, I was so excited to learn that he believed in the same things that we were studying. I am not sure that his ideas will lead me to a longer life, but I trust him to not steer me in the wrong direction. You should see what he looks like. I think he is in his early seventies and he competes in triathlons. His web page is http://www.josephmaroon.com/. Look for the picture of him in his swimming trunks. I wish all seventy year old men would look so good!

  1. Yey to starting yoga! I checked out the website and may just buy the book. I've got so many books waiting for me to read them! I'm so glad you're doing well! Ready to start your next classes tomorrow?
