Does anyone do Pilates or Yoga? Or any form of meditation?
We got a pilates video and gave it a go last night, kids joined in too. Sean got right into it, and was surprisingly good at it! Dylan obviously can't do all of it, and Ella was more interested in "helping" others but it was fun and something nice for the whole family to do together.

I did pilates from when I was about 11-17 or so. I did it on the pilates machines - it can be really hard, but it's good for you. I've never gotten into yoga.

I'm always confused with these Pilates and Yoga stuff. I always thought they were similar until I heard that Pilates have machines! Nah, I have never done them. I heard that they are a good form of excerise but I don't think it's something for me. I've seen people do it and it looks scary. I'm not that bendy!!

I think pilates is a hell of a lot harder than yoga. I used to take a "Pilate-yoga-bo" class which was a mix of pialtes, yoga and tae-bo (sp?). That was fun, but tae-bo was the best part of the class. I like yoga, but I'm not flexible at all, so I'm a bit limited in what I can do.

Don't you get more flexible the more you do?

I don't. I think if you do it every day, you must, but the class was once a week, so it wasn't that regular.

Anything further than Woden or Tuggeranong I don't want to have to drive all the way out to Civic or something.

You should make her do yoga. I still maintain it would be highly amusing seeing Lauren attempt it and fall all over the place I was meant to give this a go awhile ago when my doctor was complaining about my stress levels and insomnia. He claimed it would help. Not really my thing.

I would still like to do yoga, there are probably classes in Erindale, I might look into it.
