Starting Yoga tomorrow!
I haven't done Yoga in a number of years but I'm really looking forward to going to a class tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous and certain I won't be able to do half the poses yet, any words of confidence for me? Should I sit at the back of the class for my own peace of mind? I have so much energy lately and I'm trying a lot of things that I haven't in a long, long time, I just hope I'm not in over my head at only 6 weeks out! I was cleared for lifting and other various forms of exercise at my 6 week post op appointment today, so it's not that, it's definitely an embarrassed/conscientious thing...I really want to get into this as part of my exercise routine though, not just so that I can become more flexible and coordinated/balanced, but so I can find a relaxing form of exercise as well, in addition to my walking routine...Anyone else include Yoga or Pilates in their routine?

I waited 8 weeks post op and LOVE IT! I could never have done it at my old size! I put my mat in the front so I can watch the instructor. Don't hide in the back!

So how was it!? Did you love it? Are you sore in places you did not even know you had?

YAY FOR YOU! I am so glad you enjoyed it! I have found I like the 75 minute classes best because I am so loose and able to do moves vs. the shorter classes where I am just getting to that loosey-goosey place and then it is over.
