The great yoga adventure

I just did a cobra...

The upward dog is very similar to the cobra - just with your arms straight (onto the ground), & your legs up slightly off the floor (front of feet on the ground).

Ah northern Thailand @soul that sounds lovely. Lots of Thai Green curries?

Hello yogies

I have learnt something thank you! I thought I was doing upward dog in the mornings to stretch my back and now realise I am doing the cobra pose as I am not lifting myself up off the mat and my arms are not forward enough.

I will continue with the cobra pose this week.

Take care, MummaMia

Good morning everybody,

I cobra-ed yesterday and I've already done so today too. This was definitely a good choice of pose @Adge. @Former-Member we are planning to do upward dog next week. Like you, I wasn't sure of the difference between cobra-ing and upward-dog-ing.

@CheerBear Cobra-ing does give your arms a workout doesn't it. This is fitting in nicely with my attempts to do a forearm-stand. I'm super glad you made it back over to the great yoga adventure this week.

It is super nice to see lots of other cobras in Forum Land this week; @Shaz51 @soul @Anony18 @TheVorticon @Former-Member @Former-Member.

Hmmm...who else can I harrass encourage to be a cobra: @Former-Member (and mini-Nells), @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member.

Here is how to be a cobra just in case anyone has forgotten. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4qrNdMLUpw

@Phoenix_RisingI cobraed last night (with the little Nell's). Once again their little bodies move like mine don't anymore!! Outclassed me easily

Hey @Phoenix_Rising I love your harass/ No - Encouragement...

How could we not be motivated by such gentle prodding...

How are all the yoga-ites going?

I did some cobra-ing today, then mostly other strange poses that I'm not used to (& don't have the names for)...

This morning's yoga class pretty much wiped me out. I was so wobbly (in the one-legged poses) & so inflexible, that it just wasn't funny...

Good evening everybody,

I have been diligently cobra-ing this week - I just haven't been able to find a moment to check in here! cobra pose was an excellent choice @Adge. I have super enjoyed doing this one. Tomorrow we are going to start a week of up dog (is that the proper term?). I still don't have a clear idea about the difference between this and cobra pose so I'm keen to find out more.

Up-dog or Upward dog, same thing as far as I know @Phoenix_Rising.

It's similar to Cobra, as far as I can tell - just with legs raised up off the ground (feet on floor).

Good morning everybody,

I know, I know, I'm a day late. Of course, this was entirely planned, because I felt we all needed to practice our waiting skills.

Anyway, this week's pose is upward facing dog. And it's kind-of ok that we are a day late getting started because upward facing dog is super similar to cobra pose. Here is how to do upward facing dog:

And here is how to do cobra pose, just in case, like me, you want to compare because you're still trying to figure out the difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4qrNdMLUpw

I know this is a little brief today. I am struggling a little at the moment. But that's ok, that's why yoga-ing is so superly duperly helpful.

@Adge I'm glad you think my harrassment encouragement is helpful. Let's see who I can harrass encourage into yoga-ing today:

@soul @TheVorticon @Shaz51 @Ant7 @Mazarita @CheerBear @Anony18 @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @frog @Former-Member @Former-Member @Wildflowers @Former-Member @NikNik @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member

@Phoenix_Risingbetter late than never!

Had a psychologist app. yesterday and he encouraged me to go sign up for a weekly yoga class! Thought of you straight away
