Hey, just catching up. I've been absent from class for the last couple of week, hoping to get in Friday (but probably not until Monday. )

Yeah, I guess my main focus on the days before work are my legs because I use them.

Then the rest of the days I do everything else.

Shae

Namaste.

Hey, if you do it (yoga) for a while, you kinda get pretty tense when you not do it some days. Happens to me.

Just a simple stretch some bodyparts will make you feel great.

I've been trying to get in at least the forward fold and downward dog as possible, but it's not the same as putting a whole hour aside for it, you know?

VARIATION OF A POSE: SIDE PLANK

Here is what the full pose looks like:



For those who don't have much strength in the arms and legs, drop one knee to the ground and bend it a little so you can support yourself in the pose. Even though the side plank is modified in this way, you can still get a good stretch in the arms and legs. The opening of the hips is allways good.

Shae

VARIATION OF A POSE: HERO

If you have tight knees and/or feet (I do. ), you can place a small pillow under them to make the pose more comfortable. What I use is 2 yoga blocks for when I do the hero pose.




STRETCHING THE ARMS IN HERO POSE

You don't have to neccisarily just leave the stretching to the hips, legs, and knees in this pose. You may stretch the arms a bit using a yoga strap.



Have each end of the in each of your hands and hold it firmly so its the length of between your two shoulders. Put Hold the strap in this way in front of you to start. By each exhale of the breath, lengthen the strap and raise your arms till you have the strap behind your shoulders.

Looks like your right back into the swing of things my Friend, way to go!!!

What weekend? I worked.


Hey, as much as I love Black Eyed Peas, I hate "My Humps". I guess it just gets played out too damn much.

Hey all. Did not have a mindset on yoga today so I did a lot of meditation. Did well for me. It was realy clensing for my mind after the hectic day known as Valentines Day. Figured out that I am not ment to have a relationship and I am a free spirit. And that is fine with me.

Shae

Well, I did pics of myself today. Tummy is getting to slimming but my hips, arms, and legs look kinda huge. *laughs nervously*

I'm gonna try to cut down on all bad fats and stuff cold. Will be hard but I'm gonna do my best.

Well, I closed shop last night and had a little spill.

I was putting away prepped cheese bread in the fridge and I failed to see a water puddle near the sink. My feet shifted to the left and I landed on my right hip. It did not hurt last night. But today it got to hurting a little bit. But one thing I got out of getting out of the spill on the floor: I did not dump the cheese bread.

So I did some hip openers and arm stretches today. Felt alright.
