Back down one to 118. I bought a Yoga DVD to try yesterday, but I couldn't find the DVD remote this morning when I went to try it. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Not sure if I'm going to like it, it seemed a little kooky to me. I was really hoping to get Yoga for Dummies, I would think that would be less kooky? Maybe?
