I first heard about Richard Hittleman’s Yoga: 28 Day Exercise Plan from Ray Jardine in Beyond Backpacking. He said that it was one of the things he did to prepare for a long hike. It’s not just a twenty eight day course, it’s a life long yoga program that will make you strong, flexable and healthy. The book is horribly dated; it’s from the seventies, but I can overlook that.
I also first read about this Yoga book from Ray in BB, but never paid it much attention. At your recent recommendation, last week I picked up an old copy and decided to give it a go. Four days into it, I can say that I
a) am enjoying it
b) notice a difference in my flexibility
c) feel really good.
Thanks for the tip.
My wife and I are going through it together in prep for next summer’s AT hike. The tidbits you throw from your trail experiences are helpful and interesting.
Have a warm holiday!
