Yoga/Territorial Cats

About four years ago I started going to Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Center on Bryn Mawr in Chicago. I took the first two yoga classes, so I was consistently doing yoga for a couple of months. I don't think I've ever felt happier. I quit smoking and I learned that my body is much more flexible than I had originally thought.

As time passed I didn't keep up with the yoga. I did it at home every now and then, but not enough to really feel the benefits. Lately I've been trying to do a little bit here and there. I think that one of the reasons I don't do it regularly is because if I go through the entire session it takes about an hour and a half. That's a long time! So I've been shortening the sessions to about 35 minutes. This seems to work for me.

Anyway, I guess my point to this blog entry is that I need to exercise, yoga has typically worked for me, so I'm doing it again.

I'm a bit distracted right now because there are some territorial issues going on with the cats. Allie just came into the "middle room", Adat's room, and went into Adat's closet. Harrison is in the process of stalking Allie to get her out of the room, and Adat is all freaked out and worried. I guess I'll leave them to sort it out on their own. Ever since we rearranged the living room the cats have been staking out new territories. They are SO sensitive to environmental changes like that! Allie has been hanging out in the closets, Adat too, and Harrison has the run of the house it seems, though I've noticed that he has been staying out of the bedrooms for the most part.

Okay, so I meant to write about yoga, got distracted, and now you have to hear about the cats again. Sorry. I guess I'm feeling a bit scattered this morning. I have to work today and then go to class afterwards. Tuesdays are a bit too busy for my liking.

So I'll close for now.
