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

Yep, I'll definitely go for the Awkward Turtle pose, because I'm awkward in many poses...

Bridge pose sounds good

I only mentioned the Shoulder stand, because it's actually one of the very few yoga poses that I can easily do - & it's kind of fun, waggling your legs in the air (whilst upside-down).

I can't do the Head-Stand yet, even after 6 years - I find that way too hard.

Re: The great yoga adventure

Another packed class at yoga this afternoon. Maybe they had a promotion going but there seems to be a lot more people attending. Good for their business I suppose but I prefer less crowded sessions.

We had a Yin class AND we did a Bridge Pose so I have bridged today! Some people did a supported one with a block or bolster underneath them. With the Yin Poses, we are supposed to hold them for 3 mins or so.

Hope you all grabbed one of the Child's Pose garments. There were even some for men @Ant7 @TheVorticon@Determined and any other guys who are yogis.

I think they are displayed on a previous page so you'll have to go back to find them.
