I like the "breathe into your back ". That took some getting my head around but i do it without thinking now.

I really enjoyed it. I am not at all flexible and my balance is rubbish but I will keep practising "engaging my core"

My balance is a lot better, but I hate any of the plank like exercises.... They are too too hard! And my favourite exercise is when we do long stretches on my legs!

I am hoping that the stretches will induce my growth spurt. I have been waiting 30 years!!!

It's a pain because you end up going and talking to the person that you aren't sitting next to instead for ages! Whereas previously you could just ask a question and then carry on working.

The idea for us is that they don't have to buy everyone a workstation/desk so save money. It just makes for an unhappy work force and people end up hanging around waiting to get a space to work.

Last year in preparation for this they got rid of the normal PC's gave everyone laptops, and now you spend the first 5/10 mins of the day plugging in all the various cables to the network, screen, mouse, power and then reversing it at the end of the day.

I'm still not sure whether they will expect those laptops to go home with us in this new office either!

That all sounds awful. I prefer to have my own space, I know where everything is,I would feel very unsettled and would find it hard to get into a routine, maybe that is just me but own personal space is familiar and important.

Meditation keeps me saneish

I found that developing the yoga quiet mind a few years ago was one of the best things I've learnt to do in my life, it enabled me to get some control of my tendency to worry to much, and makes coping with lifes ups and downs a lot easier.

Totally agree and it enables you to press pause on the world around you. Shame it took me being ill to finally decide to do it but so very glad i did. We also concentrate on doing things mindfully which again slows things down.

Change of subject. We've just watched Britain's Best Part Time Bands with Rhod Gilbert and Midge Ure. So uplifting to hear such great bands, I would happily go and watch all five of the finalists.

I am watching Monday's Great British Sewing Bee, I would love to be able to sew like that, I am more of a quilt sewer though.

Is it easy to get into, do you need to see someone to show you the way or can you pick it up, read about it?
