Afterwards she said that she could tell I had a strong practice. It had been a while, I acknowledged, but you don't forget.

Strange isn't it, how we can devote so much time to an activity, before life distracts us, only to 'rediscover' it years later. Really nice to see you've returned to something which gave you so much, and also an opportunity to relive some memories with your Dad

I've done my fair share of Martial Arts; Kung Fu, Karate, Kickboxing, (even dabbled briefly with Tai Chi, but never gave that the time it deserved). I fully appreciate the the idea of moving/physical meditation (as opposed to sitting/praying), so I've always been intrigued to try yoga, but never really found time to give it a go or make it happen.

These days I use running as my 'meditation', especially on long slow runs at the weekend. 2 Hours outside in all weathers, up hill and down dale, does wonders for my thought processing and general stress relief... I always feel better and more 'alive' afterwards

My partner's was talking about it as a way to move more, so maybe it's high time I tried again to find a local class so we can try it out together...
