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.

Hi @Daisydreamer @frog @TAB Yes, always still doing 2 Yoga Classes each week.

I had to find new classes in October last year - When the Yoga Teacher Training Centre closed (due to Covid).

Doing Yoga classes in my local Community Centre is extremely time-limited - We have to get out on the dot, as no extra time is allowed (doors locked).

It is not relaxed or enjoyable, like my Dedicated Yoga Centre was.

Also doing Yoga classes whilst wearing a Mask (post-Lockdown) was challenging - Made me feel sick & nauseous.

Hi @Daisydreamer it takes me a long time to form habits but I guess I've practiced yoga regularly for the last 3 years. Before that it was pretty sporadic.

Hi @Bow @Adge @TAB @Leggs @MDT and anyone passing this way. Hope your evening is going ok.
