You know, I am have thinking about looking into yoga to help me with regaining flexibility with my ankle now my cast is off.
I wish to FSM that schools would start incorporating yoga and Pilates into the PE curriculum. They’ve still got overweight guys in Sans-a-belt shorts making kids run laps. Great way to get/keep/encourage them to stay in shape.
