Gosh, when I first posted in this thread, I was relatively new to yoga (about five months of practice). I've been practicing now for six and a half years. Although there have been times I haven't made it to my mat more than once a week, it's been a near constant, even when I've had to cut out other things. It's helped me immeasurely, physically and emotionally, and it's allowed me to meet some wonderful people. I just love it.
