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.

I yoga'd on Sunday @Phoenix_Rising! For the first time in quite a while, and I definitely need to pick it back up. So I'm probably going to yin tomorrow and will definitely do a few of the standards, including the D-dog and a few warriors so I can catch up.

Re: The great yoga adventure

Good evening everybody, I have yoga'd today, have you?

@Shaz51 Nice job, yoga-ing yesterday. How did you go today?

@soul I can't believe you did a class without a single downward dog! I'm glad you did one when you got home. I don't actually know how long I hold the pose for. Just "a while" I guess.

Yay, @Former-Member and @Former-Member have appeared as yogi representatives for all the other totally slack moderators like @Former-Member @Former-Member and @Former-Member. @Former-Member you aren't going to try yoga-ing on your bike are you? I think I've already had this conversation with @Ant7 when he went mountain bike riding.

Ok, well I fully intend to be yoga-ing again tomorrow morning. I trust that you will too.

Re: The great yoga adventure

For some reason I am laughing a lot at your response @Ant7. I can see how much effort you are putting into this week's challenge - the phrasing I mean, not the actual posture.

To make up for no downward dogging in yesterday's class, we did a lot today @Phoenix_Rising. And Warrior poses too. No trees though. We did the dog poses with each leg lifted but not to the side.

It was a small class today which was really nice and the instructor could wander around a bit and help us perfect our poses. A most enjoyable session.

Hi @Phoenix_Rising

I am doing the Adho Mukha Svanasana now... It isn't very easy to do the downward dog whilst typing that's for sure! Thank god I am not in my mermaid form at the moment, or else I would be in real trouble "yoga-ing" as I type!
