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 everyone

I have been doing bridge pose daily as part of my routine. I like it because it has a good mix os strength and flexibility. I guess a lot of yoga is like that, though I initially was more focused on the stretchy aspect. Have a good one everyone passing by.

Re: The great yoga adventure

I think of yoga as moving meditation. It's easier for me than sitting meditation. Either way my mind is busy and I'm distracted. Just have to accept it.

Hi @frog I'm still doing my 2 Yoga Classes, each week.

Couldn't do without them.

Gee, I felt it when we had 3 weeks of No Yoga Classes - Plus No Over 50's Fitness Classes either.

Due recent WA Lockdown, then Restrictions (& Mask-Wearing).

Many Classes (Yoga + other Fitness) will not run - When Mask-Wearing is Required.

We did So Many Downward Dog Poses in today's Yoga Class - That I totally lost count.

Yuk, I don't like Downward Dog (it's a real Strain) - Yet it's Good for Us....

Hi @Adge @Meowmy @TAB @Daisydreamer @Former-Member and all comers.

I've had a very disrupted week. Routine out the window, including yoga. And I really felt it.

Have done some today though.
