“Why do I get emotional during one particular yoga pose?” That’s fascinating. I haven’t experienced that in particular – I don’t do much yoga – but I’ve had something similar running. On a handful of occasions at the end of a race or a particulary draining workout, I’ve just found myself on the verge of tears. Being wrung out makes me cry, I guess.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

I used to do an Iyengar yoga class in Glebe some time ago and the forwards bends used to make me very teary. The adapted routine they had for menstruating women (lots of forwards bends etc) would usually bring me to tears. I always kind of dreaded those classes.
I did pregnancy yoga. Made me cry AND puke. Very elegant.
