Practice yoga once a week

during my lunch break. I think one of my big problems previously was making too big of a deal out of yoga. Now I just spend 15 minutes stretching and throwing in some traditional yoga poses in a park near my job before walking 25/35 minutes and then returning to the office. I’ve been feeling so much better when I return to work…

... now if I could just keep it up!

I’m thinking I’m going to make Sunday my designated yoga day. Hopefully that will help me stick to practicing once a week.

I took a yoga class yesterday after work and really felt great afterwards! I’m working to keep my goals realistic by only working to go once a week. That way, if I find that I really enjoy it, I can up it to twice weekly!

Wednesday night seems to be a good yoga night for me. It has been for the past three Wednesdays. I have started out with just some sun greetings. 5 of sun greeting A, and each week I add a sun greeting B. I am up to two Bs.

I like pacing myself, and I like just doing it at home. It’s free and quiet. I do wonder if I will remember how to get into the pose that comes after 5 sun greeting Bs…
Perhaps I should buy this

For the first time in two months. My original instructor left, which made me surprisingly sad! – but this one is okay, if less rigorous.

Didn’t happen this week. I was so drained from the ELI training that just moving and small amounts of thinking were a stretch.

This hasn’t happened lately. Jerry brought the boys over on Saturday morning, so I didn’t have time that day and on Sunday, what I thought was allergies turned out to be a dilly of a cold. Dizziness has been one of the fun symptoms. Probably not conducive to yoga.

I didn’t do this over the weekend because I just didn’t make the time. My body felt sluggish and I was pretty busy. I know that when my body feels that way, I really should make the time. But somehow when I feel that way, I conveniently forget that the yoga will make me feel better.

Didn’t get this in over the weekend-but I did some roofing and clean up work that has left my body incredibly tight-especially my hamstrings.

I did an hour practice on Sunday, August 28. I used the Om Yoga set but couldn’t do the inversions. There was no bloody way my feet were going above my head. This wasn’t terribly surprising as I had a lot of difficulty with the tree pose. I also was surprised that my arms didn’t want to stay in the cow face pose-usually that arm position is much easier.

I was very stiff on Monday and Tuesday but this may have been in part to moving my hope chest upstairs.

I’m hoping that my legs, specifically the thigh area, starts loosening up.
