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 been doing both cobra and upward facing dog pose this week. I understand the difference now - yay. I super like these poses, they really help with my back pain.

@Former-Member how did you go with your plan to try upward dog? I have to say, I think you deserve a prize for being the most committed yogi of all the moderators. The others are so slack - hey @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member have you been yoga-ing???

@Former-Member have you signed up for that class yet - hmmmmm???

How are you this week @Adge and @Shaz51? I wonder how @soul is going over in Thailand. I will have to swing past her holiday thread to see. Form Land is such a very busy place these days, it really is super hard to keep up with everyone.

Happy yoga-ing.

Re: The great yoga adventure

@Phoenix_Rising I have to admit I have been really slack with yoga since our place closed. I have tried a few places and I am hoping that the place we are going to now will be good. I have been getting nervous before going because I am fat and inflexible. The new place has a 6 week beginner course and it seems really good so far. The instructors are very good and fix all my poses and it makes me feel more comfortable so hopefully my yoga adventure will continue 😊

Re: The great yoga adventure

This was me when I read that you have signed up to a class @Former-Member and that you have found a new place that you feel comfortable at @Ant7.
