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.

We are lucky our instructor tells us to put a hand against the wall if we need it @Phoenix_Rising

@Phoenix_Rising It takes only one tree to be a forest - because if one tree is on it's own it has no other tree to tell it it isn't a forest!

Re: The great yoga adventure

Giggle @Zoe7. I felt very deep posing the question of how many trees it takes to make a forest, and you seem to have provided an appropriately deep answer.

@Faith-and-Hope I am interpreting your post as a commitment to be a tree for a few minutes every day this week...and you wouldn't want to disappoint a little turtle now would you.

@Ant7 My instructor is very big on reminding everyone to listen to their body, not let their ego get in the way, and only do what they can do...while I staunchly keep super trying to be a tree even though I am wobbling all over the place.

@Faith-and-Hope I think with your inability to hold anything at a moment maybe you should start as a seed

Re: The great yoga adventure

@Phoenix_Rising I thought you would like that.

Here's another one - one little tree is standing on it's own, wondering how many trees it takes to make a forest. That little tree thinks about this for a while and then says to itself - I AM ENOUGH!
