Yvonne,
In the beginning, I read books and watched videos. My goals were never and still aren't high. I don't aim to do the complicated yoga poses but I do the ones that are easy enough for me but that force me to do some stretching. I love how good I feel during and after. I have a yoga coach that I trade with like I'll do editing for her or more recently, I made her an afghan in exchange for two months of yoga...So, every other Saturday, I go to her studio and we work out for about two hours....it's really nice. Then, one of my colleagues teaches yoga and tai chee or however you spell it and over the summer, we get a group together but the other times, we alternate offices and do our yoga that way.
I think you find it very good for your legs, arms, and neck.
Hey Linda,
I'm usually the one dragging up the rear. Spasms are the worst. I get them in my legs all the time. It's crazy. Hope you are feeling better today.
Just a late, quick check-in.
Watched Frankie all day, and took him to the museum for almost three hours. They have a playroom for kids four and under. It has a big water table, with plastic smocks, and tons of water toys. It also has puzzles, tons of Discovery Toys, a climbing thing with two slides, and other fun stuff. He had a blast. I am exhausted. Getting up at 7:00, and playing with Franlin all day is tiring. He's a good boy, and plays nicely alone, and with other kids, but my body is not used to it two days in a row. I'm also watching him all day tomorrow.
Hugs,

Canndesign,
When I first started doing Yoga, I bought a Yoga for dummies book ad watched videos on line. I have been doing it for a long time but am not able to do really complicated poses. For me, the stretching helps keep my bones and muscles with good range of motion. Plus, it does tighten up...you can tell what I do the most stretching of...my neck and legs and sides have the most toned muscles. LOL.
Just do a few little moves for a while and then move to more complicated....
Hi Ladies,
Carla sorry about your friend. Will keep them in my prayers.
Kathy I understand about the cold and dreary day, I didn't want to get up either but I had things to do.
Jeannie glad you got a workout space now. I always wanted to try yoga but haven't. Maybe I'll get a dvd from the library and try it.
Julia try to have fun with the jewelry class.
Linda sorry about the back spasms, hopefully they are gone away.
As for me, I had another busy day. I even got my exercise in today even though I really didn't want to do it.
Tomorrow is my birthday. I have to get up early to have my breakfast since my dad and stepmom are taking me out for early lunch. Then I'm meeting my SIL at her job and going home with her for the weekend. I think we are going to play euchre tomorrow night.
Everyone have a good night.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
Glad the university is being so nice to you yoga friends...I'm sure they are happy when employees are doing things to help with their health!
Here I am late again today. Went to the Y yesterday worked on triceps and shoulders. Felt fine all day but last night had back spasms. Scared me but I had one muscle relaxer so I took it before I went to sleep. Woke up feeling better but a little groggy all day.
Carla hope your friend is okay.
Julia good luck with your craft room.
Everyone else. Hope all is well and you have a great day.
Oh by the way Canndesign is Carla!!! I have two accounts on OH!
Jeane,
I would love to come do Yoga with you! I tried it a few times and find it very relaxing. My Dr teaches yoga at her office. If I ever stay home for ten weeks at a time I might sign up for her sessions. Ten sessions for 100.00. But they have to be ten sessions consecutively. I'm never home that long.!!!
