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.

Trying to be a tree might feel a bit sappy, but I'll give it a try tomorrow so that no one here thinks I'm a stick in the mud.

hello @Phoenix_Rising @CheerBear and all others

my response relates to conversation between above two

I want to be a tree (young child, adult in some cases)

I dont want to be that kind of tree. (points finger) she said that I had to be a *******...tree

I want to be an oak tree

(tantrum ensues with rigid child carried off)

I had to laugh out loud. I read a few responses and thought to myself .....chair???.....tree????

read the responses without knowing that the discussion is about yoga

very entertaining

I still want to be a tree though.....an oak tree

Re: The great yoga adventure

Good morning everybody.

I see there was much amusement had here after I went to bed last night. You all made me giggle a lot! Now, I'm sure you all know that there is an ancient saying: "they who laugh about being trees must themselves become trees."

I've been a tree this morning, have you: @Former-Member @TheVorticon @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Ant7 @soul @Maggie @CheerBear???

Here is the video on how to be a tree - just in case anyone has forgotten: https://www.doyogawithme.com/content/tree-pose

@soul It would be super cool if you got along to a yoga class on this, the first day of the month.

@TheVorticon I am super impressed that you are going to have a go at being a tree - albeit a sappy one.

@CheerBear I was thinking about how we are sort of stuck in the mud and it occured to me that we can be trees right where we are in the mud - it just means we would be more of a mangrove swamp than a forest...and that's ok.

I look forward to hearing how everyone went at being a tree today.
