Dear Self,
You would do well to remember that, no matter what other form or forms of exercise you may be getting, yoga is still a goodness.
No, it may not burn the most calories, or raise your heart rate or make you sweat, but it is still good for you in more ways than you can count. Especially when you're tense and stressed, and haven't been remembering to stretch as much as you should. Double-especially when you're dealing with panic and nightmares and insomnia.
And don't try to cheat with one of the intense cardio-yoga or power-yoga workouts, either. Stick with the low-key, relaxation and stretching yoga DVD's. It may not feel like exercise, but it will feel GOOD in a way nothing else does, and you will sleep better that night than you have in weeks. Seriously worth it.
Love,
Me
