purpletigronMater made it to her second yoga session today.
As some of you know, I have started going to this yoga school regularly - I've signed up for their Foundation course on Wednesdays, as I am finding it so useful (keeping me active when I'm not well enough to cycle or train in Aikido, teaching me some very pertinent relaxation techniques etc.)
My yoga teacher has arranged for her Gentle Yoga class to be on Monday mornings, so I am able to help Mater get started with it.
One of Mater's carers went and fetched her by taxi, so I could go straight to the class and meet them there. The carer also decided to try the class, and really enjoyed it, and goes free as a carer anyhow. Then the carer took Mater home by taxi, which is just in time for her lunch.
The yoga teacher said Mater was definitely less tense than in her first class (which was about 2 months ago now). The yoga teacher is very confident that she can help Mater, at least to regain a little bit of her mobility, and possibly, to become a little better at using relaxation techniques in her life.
So Mater and I are planning to go along next week, and I think the carer is keen to do the class again too.
This is all VERY GOOD NEWS :-)
After that lovely, successful and actually relaxing session, I did have to go to the dentist, for a somewhat uncomfortably hygienist session - but the breathing exercises helped with that :-)
