Yoga

[Tinkerbell]

any budding Yogi`s in here?

 

I have just started doing Yoga and I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE it!

I always dismissed it before as I preferred more action and motion and to be honest was as flexible as a telegraph pole

 

but its great, I'm definitely more flexible but have a long way to go,  its surprisingly good at strengthening and toning and relaxing the mind, I like to mix it up a bit with some weights and a resistance band

 

So if like me you thought it might not be for you, you might just be surprised, I hope you give it a go

I'm more of a Boo Boo than a Yogi.

 

That being said, I do perform some yoga poses during my mobility training sessions.  I take a little time each day to do the half pigeon pose.  Started doing the half pigeon when I was having some issues with my sciatic nerve.  That particular pose helped a lot.

 

I'm not getting any younger so anything I can do to open up my hips and shoulders is worthwhile.  I also do the following poses: cobra, bridge, low lunge, boat, and downward facing dog.

 

Namaste...

that's awesome @Boo i`m more boo boo too but like the sound of yogi 

 I hear you on the getting older part, I thought I would creak, crack and fluff  my way through but was surprised, the Cobra is the hardest for me as my back seems to be the least flexible.

 

I checked out some books from the library and have some apps on my phone which I found very helpful so I practice at home now, hopefully in the spring I will join a legit Yoga club as I have only attended classes at the gym.

 

I don't think I will be doing this pose....

Do you know that saying 'namaste' is illegal in Alabama.  lol.

 

I LOVE the half pigeon.  Best for my psychotic (sciatic) nerve.

 

I do some poses at home but, do more yoga like stuff I make up in the water.

@Sazeracgotta Love Alabama 

 

@Doreensfreethat's great Doreen, I was going to try Tai Chi but loved the yoga but still might try it.

Uggh have not done much over the past 10 days, we have stopped going to the gym (Just a germ pool) and I haven't done any Yoga as too stressed which is ironic as that's when I need to be doing it the most, so today its written on my to do list
