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.

Re: The great yoga adventure

My third session of yoga was wonderful @Ant7@Phoenix_Rising@Shaz51@NikNik@Faith-and-Hope@CheerBear and all those following the great yoga adventure. This class was called Yin Yoga and focuses on the five areas of the body - earth, fire, water, air and atmosphere. After the last two sessions where my body was given quite a workout (I can feel those abs being sculpted) this one was very relaxing. We held a series of poses for extended lengths of time and the session had a beautiful calming effect.

To complement this yoga program I have also booked a massage and a salt water session (not at the same place) Taking self care to a whole new level and it's really nice. You should all try it.

Special thanks to @Phoenix_Rising and @CheerBear for their encouragement.
