I'm doing Yoga things at home almost daily now. I do the downward dog, plank, pushup, upward dog thing a lot, just because it feels good and seems more effective than just doing pushups. I'm all about compound exercises. A few months ago my entire body was very weak, now my core is crazy strong, my flexibility is improving dramatically and all of my nagging aches and pains are gone. It's awesome!

I do want to get into a class soon because I want to learn more. And yes I want to do handstands. Handstands are very underrated as an exercise IMO.
