I feel like a long-haired-Venice-living-hippy even saying it. I did yoga ... again. The first time was on my business trip to San Francisco, at that point I could justify it because my bike workout wasn't available. Actually, I liked it. The stretching feels great. This allows my to stretch out muscles that would otherwise never be stretched, gaining increased blood flow throughout the body.
Now I didn't do yoga at a yoga studio (heaven forbid I do that) but to a video I downloaded on my computer in the safety cocoon of my room. From what I found it didn't have any profound affect on my blood sugar pattern but the workout was after a swim, so from the one workout it's hard to say. I will state it's not as bad as some people like to make it sound. I did sweat a little but I can do that from reading too hard in the library.
The gain from all of this is that I have another way to help speed recovery. I can't say I'll ever be a huge fan of yoga but I can say it seems like a good option during recovery weeks when I have more time and am attempting to speed recovery. Next time I look to see the true affects of it on my diabetes.
