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 @Leggs @Meowmy @frog @TAB and everyone following along here 🙂

How have you been going with yoga these last couple of weeks?

I had a little break after an injury, but hoping to get back into it again soon! What are your thoughts on starting back doing Yin Yoga vs going straight back into a Yoga class?

Hi @Former-Member @Leggs @Meowmy @TAB @Daisydreamer @Shaz51 and anyone travelling this way.

I often struggle to get started with my yoga practice but it's always good when I do.

My life is a bit like that atm. I know what will help but feel resistance to focussing on it because I'm kinda swamped.

Hi @Daisydreamer @Former-Member @Leggs @Adge @Meowmy @Shaz51

This is one I do most days. I think it's called eye of the needle. It helps my sacroilliac joints

There's another one called needle pose that I sometimes do:

How are you travelling @TAB ? Hope things are improving.
