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 everybody. I treed today, did you? I have been feeling a bit icky today but treeing helped me to feel better. I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. Tomorrow we get to start the be-a-warrior-every-day-for-a-week challenge. 😆

I treed @Phoenix_Rising! It's becoming just oart of my day I think now.

Looking forward to warrior week too. I meant to reply earlier but got a bit lost and forgot. I will definitely be up for a warrior a day challenge for a week too, but will keep up treeing also.

I love the idea of having a position of the week thing!

Hi @CheerBear@Phoenix_Rising@Ant7 - I Yinned today. I Yinned the other day but this session was with a different instructor. It was very relaxing and she was more facilitative. A really nice way to start off the week.

I'll be a Warrior this week too. Hopefully we will get lots of people being warriors - so empowering. I think it's easier than the tree pose - less likely to fall over. Speaking of which, on my long Sunday walk today, I came across this cool looking tree. I did some stretches against its branches. It didn't seem to mind.

@Phoenix_Rising Looking forward to the warrior, I'm no tree, I need my feet planted on the ground I'm afraid.

Good morning everybody. It's Warrior Week!!!!! I can't begin to tell you how much I don't feel like a warrior right now...which probably makes it an ideal time to be a warrior!

Did you know there are three warrior poses in yoga (which are creatively named Warrior I, Warrior II and Warrior III)? Based on the picture you posted @soul, I've taken it to mean you want to do Warrior II. I had to hunt around for a how-to video because for some weird reason the cool yoga website only has Warrior I and Warrior III how-to videos. Here is how to be a warrior: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oltXEk70A_0

I can't wait to hear how everybody goes at being a warrior today: @Ant7 @soul @CheerBear @Maggie @Appleblossom @TheVorticon @Zoe7 @Faith-and-Hope @Former-Member @Mazarita

@Former-Member @Former-Member will you be warriors in the helpcentre today? I am super hoping that you can inspire @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member to be warriors too.

Last week we created the Forest of Forum Land and now we are going to fill up the forest with warriors.

Hmmm...I wonder who else I can nag encourage to be a warrior. Forum Land is so big now, it is difficult to find everyone. Hey @utopia @Shaz51 @BlueBay @Queenie do you want to be warriors?

I haven't been a warrior yet today, but I plan to soon. I will be treeing as well as warrioring (that word is SO wrong!!!). I find that once I start, I keep going with the yoga gig because it makes me feel super calm.

I can't wait to hear how everyone goes with being a warrior. Yay for the be-a-warrior-every-day-for-a-week challenge.

Hey @NikNik, make sure you look out for the army of Warriors when you fly over in your nutella jar!

It's called doing the opposite action @soul.

But I choose to do this:

Good morning warriors in the forum forest!

I have dropped my fish at school and returned home to a quiet warm house. I think I will find a yoga video on you tube and do a session at home this morning before heading to class later this afternoon. There will be warrior in the video and in class so that can be my practice today.

Happy yoga day @Phoenix_Rising. Hope you enjoy class tonight.

@soul - what class are you doing today? I'm having trouble keeping up with your classes! Love the t-shirt thanks. I'll put mine on now 🙂

Also @Phoenix_Rising I finally read the yoga chapter of TBKTS this morning and have taken some notes. I'll try and put it in to some readable form and head to book club today to read any updates and post my reflections.

Hope there are moments of zen for all today 🙂
