Comments on: “The Woman’s Book of Yoga & Health” by Linda Sparrowe http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2257 Reading, Writing, Movies and Mothering in Minneapolis, Mostly Thu, 14 May 2026 10:33:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Steph http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2257&cpage=1#comment-16767 Steph Sun, 14 Jun 2009 05:03:48 +0000 http://www.girldetective.net/?p=2257#comment-16767 We have a pool in our complex, so I try to use that as much as I can (and when it's not swarming with fratty boys). I've certainly learned through repeated trials that I am no runner, so I would like to try some other forms of exercise out. I did do pilates for a semester in undergrad and thought it was interesting - I'm not sure how it can lead to weight loss on its own, but feel it would be a good supplement to other regimes. Turns out my library does have a copy of this book, so I'm going to try to snag the copy on my next visit.

I'm def. not the latter, and while I'm not super flexy, the low impact and meditative aspects of yoga work much better for me than more active sports. I walk a lot, and would swim if it were convenient. A friend had a theory that people were either flexible or runners.

I'm going to see if my library has a copy and see if I can give it a go. I have a mat that's been languishing for years... maybe I can change that!
