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.

Hey,

I went to a new place/ Yoga class on Friday

- Trying to find new yoga centres & classes to go to (as mine is closing).

- Also trying to make new connections with people, in my local area.

Morning all who happen to wander past

@Adge@Shaz51 @Former-Member @Angels333 @soul @CheerBear ...

I have been really struggling in the mornings.

I'm trying to stick to my commitment to do a little yoga routine. Resistance is the term that comes to mind.

Anyway just wanted to seek and give some encouragement re morning routines and things that get you on the right track for the day.

Good Morning @frog I just planted a few extra plants in my garden bed, it took 5 minutes as the soil was already prepared yesterday. But I am back in bed having a coffee.

I used to to do yoga, I would love to try yoga for trauma @Adge was doing that if I recall...

Anyway I have an essay to write (I'm terrified) today so just building the will to go ahead.

Have a great day @frog and @Adge (I hope you can see the gp today adge, you've been in my thoughts, I can empathise with all Mr Angels has been through with ulcerative colitis...❤🧡💛💚💙💜

I only manage to do Yoga when I go to Yoga classes @frog The class gives me motivation, company (to do it), & instruction from yoga teacher.

Thanks @Angels333 Yes Trauma Informed Yoga (6 or 8 classes) - I think they call it.

Have a good day everyone.

Hi forumites. Anyone out there practice yoga?

I do yoga by myself at home. Classes are expensive, and some are just not that good.

So, if anyone else does yoga, in class or at home, maybe we could encourage each other to keep it up.

Good on you for keeping going on the Great Yoga Adventure @frog

I've have not been doing any Adventuring myself.

Somewhat Hermit-like, not by choice.

I rely on my 2 Yoga Classes each/ every week - Otherwise I just don't do any Yoga at all.

As a Yoga Teacher once said "I bet you've all been practicing yoga at home, during the break" (when no classes) - "Nope", everyone shook their heads....

It's been challenging, since my Yoga Centre permanently closed (last October).

They were the biggest, maybe longest-running - The only place that trained Yoga Teachers here.

Doing Yoga Classes in a Community Centre (as I am now) is very different - We must be out of the building on the Dot, as the Council only allows us that exact amount of time.

Very rushed classes, & only 1 hour - not the 1 & 1/2 hours that I am used to (from Yoga Academy).

A Dedicated "Yoga Centre" feels more welcoming & relaxing, very different.

Anyway, "Happy Yogaing" everyone....

Good on you too @Adge for continuing in some capacity.

I wish I could find a kind of yoga community but the classes are so expensive.

I went to a free one, but it was not worth the effort of getting there. It was underneath a bar and the noise was rediculous. The teacher didn't seem that into it either.

Anyway, it would be good if we could gather a few more people here to encourage each other, but idk how to.

Hope your day is a good one.
