I've managed to do spinning classes (once at SoulCycle, even) and kickboxing classes, but for some reason, I'm really intimidated about bending all over the place in front of people. Plus, I know less than nothing about yoga, so there's going to be a huge learning curve.

I get the same way. If you're ever in the Milwaukee area (a long shot, I know) I go to this amazing yoga studio (Peace Yoga). Diane, the instructor, totally made me feel at ease right from my first class. It's so tranquil and calm. Definitely my way to unwind and forget about the daily stresses in life!

Not sleeping is rough- I read about lots of relaxation ideas but also some natural remedies like chamomile or valarian. Good luck!Kaysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703080413636568693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-35717683527150930132015-03-08T10:18:17.457-04:002015-03-08T10:18:17.457-04:00Go!

And if you hate it there's no rule you can leave. I don't think you'll regret trying it. Really! You might not love yoga, but you can totally get through the class. I know it!

There are a lot of resources out there, including works by respected academics (e.g. Google Jon Kabat-Zinn [US-based] or Mark Williams in the UK).
