The great yoga adventure

Yes @Phoenix_Rising forum land is so busy, dozens & dozens of posts each day.

It's almost impossible to keep up...

I didn't know that @soul has a holiday thread - somehow I've missed seeing that.

Over 120km of driving I did today - & 2 trips to & from the work base (which is a long way from me).

I'm sooo exhausted, I've goto leave for work at 7.30am tomorrow morning...

Yes I've so goto get that upward dog pose in now, before I collapse in the chair & don't get up...

I'm still working on doing my iRest yoga meditation stuff every day - I'll get it put into practice (I hope) sometime soon...

That's all meditational stuff (no physical postures).

Although it does include progressive muscle relaxation (tensing & relaxing muscles in your body) - which is definitely physical.

Hello @Phoenix_Rising

No I have not gotten around to trying the upward dog yet but I am planning to again tonight. I have even been so inspired by you all I am looking into starting yoga now.

How are you all getting on?

I was really good last week @Phoenix_Rising but this week I absolutely slacked off, so I promise I will try the upward dog this evening 🙂

Good evening everybody,

I yoga-ed this morning. I am super enjoying upward dog (and cobra-ing, which I'm still doing). I am also super excited that I managed to do a forearm stand for quite a while before I fell over. I think doing upward dog and cobra is helping me to build strength in my forearms. Hey @Adge, what do you think about doing dolphin pose next week? It's like downward facing dog, but on your forearms.

@Former-Member I super hope to hear tomorrow that you tried upward dog.

@Former-Member I will be checking next week to see how you went with upward dog. Giggle. I am SO impressed that you found a picture of the moon doing yoga! I note that there are no underpants in the picture.

@Adge do you find the progressive muscle relaxation helpful? When I have giant feelings, one of the things I find helpful is tensing my entire body all at once and then relaxing it.

Happy yoga-ing everybody.

Are we still doing upward dog? Dolphin starts tomorrow (Monday)?

I did one upward dog, & a strange pose called thread the needle (in class). That's where you reach your arm sideways under yourself...

Yoga class left me feeling really sore & achy...

I have been cobra-ing, @Phoenix_Rising

Good morning everybody, welcome to Monday.

Congratulations @Adge, you win a trophy for being the most committed yogi in Forum Land last week.

@Adge Did you enjoy doing thread the needle in class? We could make that the pose for next week if you want to???

@Shaz51 yay for cobra-ing!

So, after doing cobra pose and upward dog pose, I thought it would be cool to do dolphin pose because this is another pose that builds strength in the forearms. Here is how to do dolphin pose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9qEcTjmA78

I super like dolphins. Hey, @Faith-and-Hope, look, we are going to fill up the ocean around Forum Land with dolphins!

Hey @soul @TheVorticon @Shaz51 @Maggie @Ant7 @Adge @Mazarita@CheerBear @Former-Member @Anony18 @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @frog @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member @Former-Member let's be dolphins - just like flipper!
