Veggie Chilli and Yoga, compatible?

On the surface you might think that being vegetarian and doing yoga go together quite well. Not always. Last night I mad a veggie chilli (from a packet!) and added a couple of tins of beans, including my exciting "Garbanzo" beans, which were disappointingly only chickpeas. Oh, and a tin of tomatos, which, not paying attention to the can turned out to be a tin of tomato sauce but similar enough! Rice cooker supplied the rice (when I had finally found the instructions and figured them out again).

Today was Yoga and after a 7am-11.30 stretch of meetings on the phone I was ready. Late for class and teach seemed in the mood for revenge ensuring we 'hold the pose for 3 more breaths' after my legs had started doing Elvis impressions. Anyway, following the bean fiesta last night required some more complex than usual control of stomach muscles today.

I shouldn't joke though, the yoga was extremely good and hurt a good deal. I even found my cobra today, which means my cobra position vastly improved by using back muscles rather than arms. Compulsory yoga for all I say, only allowed to skip it after a veggie chilli. Ran a couple of miles after class too, to try to break back into a fitness regime.
