On January 3, 2010 I began reaching for a lofty goal…30 yoga classes in 31 days.
That’s a lot of yoga.
In preparation, I penciled in all the yoga classes I was planning on going to. I moved appointments around. I adjusted my hours at work. I planned my eating. My laundry schedule. I just felt like I couldn’t let “I have no clean exercise pants” be an ecuse that would prevent me from attending class.
January 20 marked my 18th yoga class.
It also marked 7″ lost and 5 lbs. down.
Seven inches.
I just like to say that out loud to myself.
Seven inches.
But what I’m more proud of is what I’ve been going through these past few weeks. I feel stronger. I feel calmer. More focused. More at ease. Looser.
It’s a wonderful feeling.
I’m going to write more on this wonderful yoga experience after I complete my month-long goal.
Hello! My name is Cole. Simplicity Embellished is my special place. I talk a lot about writing letters, etegami, gardening and yoga. Please sign up for Sunday Tea (comes to you via email), subscribe using your feed reader of choice and don't hesitate to say hello on Twitter or Facebook either.

Cole, that is fantastic. I haven’t done yoga since I was doing prenatal yoga – and I miss it! I think you may have inspired me to sign up for a new session.
