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.

Good evening all,

@NikNik I super SUPER love that picture of me being a tree. I'm very excited that we are growing such a big forest here in Forum Land, that you can see us from your nutella jar. Please don't try to tree while flying your nutella jar will you - I'm not sure that would be safe.

@Ant7 I am extremely relieved to hear you didn't try to tree on your mountain bike.

@soul I super love hearing how much you are getting into the Great Yoga Adventure. It sounds like this adventure has set a whole lot of other self-care adventures in motion for you. That is so awesome.

@Former-Member I don't think I will be trying to be a gliding tree any time soon. Methinks such an adventure would definitely end in this little turtle going splat!

I can see that not so many people reported in that they had treed today, but hopefully they have, and just haven't mentioned it. Yoga really is supposed to be very good for puddled brains, and I know I for one need all the help I can get! I will definitely be treeing again tomorrow.

Btw @Ant7 I can't believe everyone has adopted your use of the term "treeing." I'm a bit of a pedant when it comes to grammar and I'm finding this use of the term "treeing" painful and yet somehow also highly amusing.

Yes @Phoenix_Rising - has already booked tomorrow's session. It's a candle light one. Should be nice.

That's the perfect bed for me @soul. Would feel like I'm up in a tree but nestled on clouds.

Re: The great yoga adventure

Good morning everybody. I have treed this morning, have you? @Former-Member @soul @CheerBear @Ant7 @TheVorticon @Former-Member @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Mazarita @Maggie

I hope I haven't forgotten anybody. @Maggie I can't see your picture yet, but I'm excited to hear you are planning to tree today.

Wow, we only have three days left of the be-a-tree-every-day-for-a-week challenge. Does anybody have any suggestions for a new challenge for next week?

I am a much more steady tree now than I was on Monday. Have other people found that they've improved at treeing over the past few days? I super want to be able to tree with my eyes closed, but every time I try, I get wobbly again. Can anyone else tree with their eyes closed. Note: please do not try this in the shower or while mountain bike riding.

Happy treeing today.

How about the warrrior pose @Phoenix_Rising.i reckon it would be empowering to be a warrior and take on all those negative thoughts.
