Suffice it to say, that's not me.
I have some physical limitations. My left hip flexor doesn't open and I have some chronic pain. I work on it, but there's only so much I can do. Yet, I do yoga.

Why, you may ask? Because I love it. Because yoga helps my creative juices. I'm not talking Wii fit yoga poses on the balance board that I do in my bedroom as the Wii trainer lady counts for me. I'm talking about an actual yoga class in a "yoga environment". As I hold a pose and quiet my brain, I'm able to let go of the worries of my day to day life; those loud, demanding everyday voices of stress, need, work, finances and family.
The longer I hold a pose and settle into the processes of my own body, the easier it is to slip into a creative place. My creative space involves seeing everyday things in a new and creative way. Whether I am talking about photographing them or writing about them, everyday items are marvelous. Everyday items and seeing them in new and interesting ways are one of my medicines.
