The great yoga adventure

I go to an assortment of classes @CheerBear - some are more dynamic than others. There are some where we mostly are on the floor. I wonder if anyone falls asleep at yoga 😆😴

Sounds like a relaxation class @CheerBear. They do hold them but I haven't been to one as the time doesn't suit. If you go to sleep, try not to snore at least.

Sounds good @CheerBear.

Good evening everybody, I have pigeoned today, have you?

@soul I am super glad you were able to return to your yoga studio today. I loved the picture you posted of the homing pigeon - it super made me giggle. Yes, I wonder who the die-hard yogis are. As fun as it was raising baby goats in my living room, I can't commit to such an adventure every week, so the only-doing-yoga-to-claim-a-reward crowd will have to wait a few weeks for the next give-away.

@CheerBear I'm sorry you were feeling too yuck to get to your yoga class today. I managed to get to mine this evening and definitely feel better for it. We used the bolster a lot this evening and it was pretty fun. I am so unco-ordinated moving it around. I always seem to have it behind me when it is supposed to be in front and vice-versa. @soul mentioned child's pose as another one we could try in our virtual class. Would that be a good on-the-floor one for next week?

Ok, well I will be pigeoning again tomorrow. I wonder who else might join me.

Have you seen the flying pigeon pose @Phoenix_Rising? It's crazy difficult.

Good evening everybody, I have pigeoned today, have you? @soul do you get the feeling that everybody is too busy tending to their baby goats to be yoga-ing this week. Hmmm...that wasn't the plan!

That flying pigeon pose does look insanely difficult. I am definitely a while away from being able to do that! I am still trying to do a handstand. I'm getting better. Now I manage to stay up for about five second every tenth attempt or so. Hey...have you done the crow pose in any of your classes? It is where you stand on your hands. We've done it in class twice and now I'm practicing it at home. I put a pillow in front of me to avoid face-planting into the floor. Face-planting into the pillow always makes me giggle.

Well I'm sure you've pigeoned today @soul...I'm not overly confident about anyone else around here right now though...and that's totally ok.

The class today was called Slow Flow @Phoenix_Rising@CheerBear@TheVorticon@Shaz51@Sans911 @Ant7@Adge@Maggie@Mazarita@Former-Member@Former-Member It consisted of series of poses that are somewhat intense at times although there are modifications. We did some of the old favourites - various styles of Warrior, Downward Dogs and Pigeons. We also did a kind of laying down Tree (much easier than the upright one)

And we did quite a bit of planking and twisting poses as well. I hope all my fellow yogis are well. Namaste.

The flying pigeon pose looks more like the falling out of the sky, crash and burn pigeon. I looked up the crow pose @Phoenix_Rising. Nope - we haven't done that one. Looks a bit more advanced. There are a couple of more challenging classes but I haven't been to those. I have started to do my hand weights exercises again so maybe that's something I can work up to. Of course there is the balance issue as well.

It is eerily quiet in our Forum Yoga Studio tonight. Maybe some of our yogis left their gates open and are chasing baby goats.
