do yoga (read all 14 entries…)

Sixth yoga class

Back to the yogadventures :)

The poses are getting more taxing – I try to do most of them, but I can only do a short time. And the dog is still hard to do…

The pain is getting better – only my legs feel very weak…

It’s still torture ;-)

out of curiosity

do you stretch before yoga? I know that yes, the whole point of yoga is to get you stretched out, but I discovered that if I do some stretching before I get to my yoga class, I enjoy the class more. Maybe this will help it be less torturous for you? :)

That might be a good idea.
The class starts very slow, but stretching might help.

But the main problem is I’m not strong enough yet. My legs are shaking :-)

Beginning classes can be harder

than more advanced ones, because you tend to do a few poses for a long time. If you are getting comfortable with the terminology and it feels like a safe space for you, you might consider trying an intermediate class. If it doesn’t feel like a safe space, you shouldn’t go there at all any more.
Also, it’s not great to stretch cold muscles, though if you walked over to the yoga studio you’re probably warm enough to stretch. Personally I like to energize my feet before a yoga class. They taught us how one time: general rubbing and then pinching between your toes really pumps up the circulation, since we all wear shoes and don’t normally use our toes much.

Yes, we hold the poses for quite long – I don’t have enough strength and my arms and legs shake :)

I only have four more classes, then I’ll decide – I actually like the class despite all my whining here!

And I’ll look into energizing my feet, thank you!
