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 @soul I have a vague idea you might like yoga, but I don't trust my memory!

How are you going? I am trying to get this thread moving a bit.

Hi @frog mad paper chase here, getting referred to dietician, exercise person, some type of specialist at hosp re incidental results, think overheard more bad news at drs other day, they rang perth chasing test results something was 'positive' which never usually a good sign, come to think of it arthritis specialist years ago said had contradictory result, was never followed up

yeah, so trying to eat right, walking every day, stretches if Good, keeping appts etc, bout it atm, think longer term need to be closer to major hospital think they struggle here.

Thanks for asking, hope your day goes okay

Okay I just did feel up wall(hands behind head) not sure if proper pose, but do it reasonably often and remember doing it decades ago at one of few yoga classes went to. gives legs a good stretch, gets kinks out of back too @frog @Meowmy

Hi @Daisydreamer @HappyCastle @Leggs @Adge @Meowmy @Shaz51 @soul and anyone vaguely yoga inclined, I went to a class this morning. I very rarely do because $ but it was really worth it. 'Slow yo' did me a lot of good and I feel quite refreshed after another hard week.

Hope all's well/ok.

Hi anyone interested

@Daisydreamer @HappyCastle @Leggs @Adge @Meowmy @Shaz51 @soul

I heard a little anecdote recently about the yoga self hug. I did this pose at my slo-yo class, but idk if it's a true yoga pose. Anyway, the person said give yourself a soothing hug and then swap arms over and hug your evil twin! I liked it because the idea was embrace all of yourself, good and not so good.
