Wow! What a difference a day makes! I made myself get up 10 minutes earlier this morning to do Sun Salutations. I felt great today! Calm and relaxed and unaffected by any of the issues going on around me at work. I drove home with the windows open, just smiling because life felt good. On the way home from my parents' house tonight I felt like ( Read more... )

Half an hour of yoga tonight after an incredibly stressful day at work. So stressful I was literally shaking and cold. Not good ( Read more... )

Challenges again. For all of yesterday's ease and peace, today seemed to make up for it. I had a long and tiring day at work staring at reports, so when I came home I was brain dead. I did some reading in the Hatha Yoga Pradipika, which I only marginally understood since aforementioned brain was dead. I spent most of the evening alone in my ( Read more... )

Today has been amazing! An hour of Vinyasa Yoga is challenging and confrontational and makes my hip flexors object, but it was SO worth it! Seane Corn is a huge inspiration! If you have a chance to check out her Vinyasa Flow Yoga DVDs definitely do! She is able to put everything into a perspective and a language that my body understands, and my ( Read more... )

Day 5 yoga was not as long as I'd have liked, but the 15 minutes I did squeeze in was intense and fabulous! I'll make up the time tomorrow.

By the time I felt the first bite it was already too late. I came in after about 10 minutes of yoga outside and soon discovered that I had a lot more bites than I thought ( Read more... )

30 minutes of free form yoga tonight. A couple of good things happened. First I started finding my way back to where I used to be in meditation. It's really difficult to let your brain shut down completely. It takes practice. I'm working on it. Second, I discovered I can still do a backbend. I had an urge to try, so I didn't give my brain ( Read more... )

I was home from work today with whatever head/respiratory crap is going around, but I still managed to succeed. This morning I convinced JR to go outside and do Sun Salutations with me, so that was 10-15 minutes (didn't look at the clock for exact times). Tonight I did a 20 minute yoga routine that I love. It's called PM Yoga. If you get the ( Read more... )
