I LOVE yoga. I originally tried it as a form of exercise, to stay limber and flexible. Then I learned it helped me to relax. As I continued practicing on and off for years, I learned that in helping me to relax, I found an inner calmness that I'd never had before, and then I finally learned what "taking it off the mat" meant. Yoga is amazing, and I have made wonderful friends at my current studio. There are so many different styles, so when someone tells me that it bores them or that it hurts them, I encourage them to try a different teacher, a different studio, a different style, etc. I think that if yoga were taught in schools, so many children would have better attention spans and fewer bahavioral issues.

I gave up sugar and flour for a week, and the results are so amazing, that I tell those poor Girl Scout cookie pushers, "Sorry, but I don't do sugar or flour" (To which the poor girl replied, but they're fat free.) By giving up these two things, I no longer have sugar cravings. I actually had the strength to sit through a 90 minute luncheon and never touch the incredible looking triple chocolate layered cake with its creamy, dense frosting. Yes, it looked good, but I didn't crave it, which is so different from the old me. I encourage everyone to try and give up sugar and flour for a week and see what happens.
