I&#8217;d done yoga classes at the local community centre on and off way back in the day, but I liked the idea of something more physically challenging and strength building like power yoga. I&#8217;ve been going to the class every Thursday evening since the beginning of March and I&#8217;ve been really enjoying it &#8211; when I am not cursing it. The cursing usually comes about 40 hours after the class when my muscles lock up from the exertion, but even that is a good sort of pain. I&#8217;m hoping to be leaner and stronger and a little less unbalanced [insert your own joke here] in a couple of months if I keep it up.<\/p>\n<p>By sheer coincidence, within days of my return to yoga I happened to receive an e-mail from Glenda at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawacorporateyoga.com\/\">Ottawa Corporate Yoga<\/a>. She was looking to commission a photographer to help her develop a set of cards to accompany bedtime yoga workshop that Glenda offers with a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ottawacorporateyoga.com\/special-needs\/\">special focus <\/a>on kids who have sleep disorders or anxiety issues. I loved the idea of the project from the start, and the fact that designer on the project would be the fabulous Lynn Jatania was the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one of my favourite poses from the session. It&#8217;s called Lizard on a Rock, and it&#8217;s being demonstrated by Glenda and her adorable daughter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/postcardsfromthemothership\/16931408935\/\" title=\"Lizard on a rock by Dani_Girl, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm9.staticflickr.com\/8708\/16931408935_c416020970_z.jpg\" class=\"frame aligncenter\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" alt=\"Lizard on a rock\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see how the final project turns out!<\/p>\n<p>Hey Yvonne, you want to try this one out at yoga class tonight?
