No Peace Corps blog is complete without at least one reference to the Hippie lifestyle commonly associated with Volunteers. I've found myself playing a ton of hacky sack during our 10 minute breaks in training and I've got to admit that it's a lot of fun. Should come in handy with all of the soccer I plan on playing.
I have also broken down and given yoga a go. I'd always been reticent to try it because I am the least flexible human alive and I disdain having to stretch before playing sports. But, knowing that a solitary life is looming, I am always looking for ways to keep healthy and busy once in my final site. The wife of our Assistant Country Director led a couple classes for us and I found it to be physically challenging, but all around enjoyable. I picked up a yoga mat and a few of her DVDs to add to the P90X that someone let me burn. Now, if anyone knows where I can find some discipline and dedication to fitness, please leave a comment...

| This body's not made for yoga, even this move hurt! |

| When the hacky sack starts getting out of control, we'd always try to pass it to steady Roman (right) to get us back on track. |
I got on p90x myself, that shit is legit, do it, especially the yoga and plyo and you will be getting catcalls like you wont believe son!
