        Between two hacking sessions I also did a yoga session today. I think
        that I realized, why such simple actions take such great effort when you
        are doing proper yoga. I think that the point is that you
        twist/bend/compress you body into an inconvenient position and then the
        real exercise starts: 1. maintaining a position is harder then assuming
        it, 2. you must breathe deeply and forcefully thus forceing your lungs
        to press against other organs and expand you body. Your muscles will
        have to strain quite a lot just to keep your position under increased
        pressure. Then when you breath out, your muscles will relax. This is
        just like your common workout in the gym, but in the case of yoga you
        will strain such muscles that you would not be able to strain
        otherwise.&lt;br&gt;Note: I somehow feel that my spellcheck is not working.
        That sucks :P
      &lt;/p&gt;
