The great yoga adventure

The great yoga adventure

Hi all,

So...somehow I seem to have made myself a deal with @CheerBear that we are both going to venture into the super scary world of yoga next Monday. I'm SCARED!!!! I've been trying to psych myself up to go to a class for about a year and now thanks to a pesky little care bear, it seems like it is going to happen next Monday.

I have my mat and my outfit (and thanks to @Former-Member and @Former-Member I know to wear underpants under yoga pants ). Now I just need to find some courage. Hmmm...courage...I'm sure I have some here SOMEWHERE in my shell...

Only six sleeps away. This sounds way too close. Yep, this little turtle is going to need to do some serious psyching up before next Monday!!! All encouragement is warmly welcome.

Re: The great yoga adventure

Well, I & my yoga classmates all turned up for yoga class at 7.45am this morning.

The replacement yoga teacher did not turn up, she never came. So no class.

This was the last class of the term, they break for the school holidays.

So we had a bit of a social chat in the cold carpark, outside the closed door.

Then we all went home.

"At least we got to have a chat", someone said - because we're not supposed to talk during class (no-one does).

That's disappointing about the instructor not turning up @Adge.

Did you do any solo yoga once you got home?

I haven't done any at all since the last time I posted in this thread :face_with_rolling_eyes:

No I didn't do any solo yoga at home @TheVorticon

Although we're supposed to do our own practice at home (the teachers say).

Everyone seems to rely on going to class...

Hello @Former-Member @Adge @TheVorticon @Shaz51 @soul @Former-Member @Former-Member and anyone who participates or wants to... How's your yoga practice going? I did 15 minutes this morning and it reminded my why I should do it more regularly.

Hi @frog. I've been thinking "I should do some yoga" instead of doing any. Somehow I don't think that counts 😉

Re: The great yoga adventure

Hi @frog I still do my 2 yoga classes every week.

I rely heavily on going to my classes (as everyone there does).

We're supposed to do our own practice at home, but nobody does (they say they don't).

I find it worthwhile & helpful, although it's often hard to get myself there.

Cute pic @Former-Member. Yoda pants - very funny. I wear black leggings - nothing fancy.

I have been doing regular yoga classes - around four or five times a week. I find that it really gives me a lift when I am feeling tired. I tend to do the more relaxing classes with deep stretches.

Do you use a video to guide you @frog?

Re: The great yoga adventure

Wow @soul you're really committed! I don't have a video, or a video machine I have developed 2 little routines for myself from books, and the occasional class. I used to like Rodney Yee am yoga on video. He's so calm - you can almost feel it coming through the screen!

Re: The great yoga adventure

Hi folks. My yoga has been sporadic, but it all depends what counts. Take care @soul @Adge @TheVorticon @Former-Member and all who do their best to yoga
