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 gang @Smiling_Gecko @Adge @Shaz51 @Meowmy @TAB and anyone wandering by

I reeeeally struggled today. Saw tdoc and it was heavy. First day of working from home in current lockdown ... tried hard but failed to achieve much. Anyway, morning routine was mucked up and it took all day to get back to it but did some yoga and it really helped. Somehow got my head out of its downward spiral. Hope everyone is travelling ok, and doing some of whatever works for you!

I did my Friday Yoga Class this morning - Only 2 of us turned up.

Starting Census Field Officer Online Training Module on Monday - Then Hitting the Road, driving 100's of Kms, some days after that....

Re: The great yoga adventure

Sometimes yoga stuff I see online is disheartening: the body beautiful, do it perfectly stuff.

Some of it seems like a competition, which I think is the opposite of meaningful practice.

@Adge@Meowmy @TAB @soul anyone else out there ... I liked this:
