I just know sometimes people just think its for headaches and don't take it for muscle or other kinds of aches. I should've known that wasn't the case with you. It really sucks you're having that kind of pain!
I don't do more than 2 hours of stretching a week, no. But I stretch after I workout. My current gym does not offer yoga right now but I hope they add it.

Wow, that is odd. I've never heard of a gym without yoga.
But I just do tapes at home, myself. You know, when I do them?
I went to classes first, though, it is kind of important to have someone teach you the proper way to hold poses and breathe - it is easy to do poses improperly, and it cuts many of the benefits when you do.
For instance, one hard thing in yoga is to think of the pose not as a goal, but a journey. The important thing is to breathe into your body, not strain your body to reach an end result that you think the pose should be. Keep aligned and breathe.
That's kind of a hard lesson, for me and others - because of course it's just nature to want to "get the pose right". But really you have to "keep your body breathing and balanced".
oops, guess I went on and on again. I should do some yoga right now, especially as I'm listening to the Tango record, and You and I Part Barf just came on.
Blergh. C'mon, Lindsey!
Yeah, Coconut oil is the shizz. If you read more about it, you'll probably get really excited about it and be astonished like I am.
I can't believe you're going to Kenya. So awesome.
