Week 1 - Sunday
Because I have been working (I do one weekend every month) I could not go to my yoga class today at the Iyengar Institute in Maida Vale. I can feel my posture deteriorating and everything getting stiff - needing a good stretch out.
Film-maker Gemma referred to an article she had read on some research showing a positive link between experienced yoga practitioners and successful outcomes from interferon treatment. I must ask her where I can look this up as it could further confirm my view that doing whatever I can to keep healthy will help my body through this treatment.
I have just worked five days in a row. I usually do Wed 3:30 - 10, Thurs 3:30 - 10 and Friday 10 - 6. However, it has been my turn to work this weekend. I am exhausted - weariness that feels emotional, depleted … can’t wait to get into my bed and I know I will still be exhausted when I wake up tomorrow.
