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

Good evening everybody, I have eagled today, have you? I can see how super excited you are about your next baby goat @soul. You do get to keep the boot...and you also get to keep the shoe that this one comes with today!

Yay for eagling @Ant7! I'm super glad you have found a new yoga place. I can imagine how difficult it would be to go somewhere new. Heck, I don't even want to try other classes in the place I go to. I super like the teacher and I really don't want to suss out anyone else. I don't do change well at all. Anyway, here is a baby goat for you.

Only three more days of get-a-baby-goat week. @soul I don't think there is going to be a motivational prize-giving every week. I won't say never again...but not for a little while. Raising all these baby goats in my little suburban villa is quite the adventure. I can't believe I let @Former-Member put these sorts of ideas in my head!

Do you have any thoughts about a pose for next week @Ant7 or @soul???

I wonder who else has eagled today...

Re: The great yoga adventure

@Ant7 ah, so this your big achievement today?! Well done. I can't even barely move from the bed today, let alone contemplate yoga moves. I love reading this thread. Makes me smile, especially now @Pheonix_Rising has brought in all these baby 🐐

Re: The great yoga adventure

Just when I thought you couldn't come up with cuter goats, you have outdone yourself @Phoenix_Rising. I may use the boot and shoe to grow plants in. I keep walking past my Yoga place to see if they have made progress on their renovations. It's hard to see but online I can start booking for next week so that's a promising sign.

As for next week, in our Yin classes we often do a pose called Sleeping Swan also known as Pigeon Pose. Otherwise, one of my favourite ones to do especially if we have been working hard is the Child's Pose. You pick @Phoenix_Rising.

I have enjoyed collecting baby goats - my dog hasn't really embraced the gesture. She is very jealous.

Thanks for finding Sleepy for me @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 I managed to eagle well before bed tonight.

Re: The great yoga adventure

@soul I super hope you can get back to your newly renovated yoga place soon. I wonder if they will put mirrors in. My place has mirrors. It is a little disconcerting, but I think it is actually helpful too.

We have never done pigeon pose but I saw it when I was browsing that website the other day and I thought it looked cool so that could be a good one for next week. I super like child's pose too. Maybe we can do that one the week after.

@Sans911 I'm glad our quirky yoga group makes you smile. I will be super excited if you choose to have a go in joining us sometime.

Nice timing @TheVorticon as I'm starting to finish up my forum time for the evening. I love that you are naming your baby goats after the seven dwarfs. Here is your baby goat for today. I hope they are all getting along nicely at your place.

Re: The great yoga adventure

Thanks @Phoenix_Rising 🙂 They are getting along quite well, although I'm concerned that they've taken over the entire living room.
By complete chance, someone in my real life mentioned the eagle pose today! And I got to show them that I could do the arms. So I've already baby eagled today!

Re: The great yoga adventure

I eagled today! @Phoenix_Rising

Hello @TheVorticon, @soul, @Sans911, @Maggie

Re: The great yoga adventure

I eagled before my shower tonight @Phoenix_Rising. I was thinking that my last Studio yoga session was a week ago. Back to the routine on Monday. Must book online for the class. Yippee.

Wonder if their marketing people have ever considered a baby goat promotion 🐐
