Signed up for another 4 wks of yoga and will be (again) doing this at 5:45AM. Only twice a week until i get faster at recovering from the hard work out. Whoever said yoga was easy has obviously never taken this class.
Namaste to all.
How I did it: I took classes during college and I workout at home with a beginner's tape, and decided that I want to incorporate Yoga into my everyday life. I started becoming stressed out easily, my flexibility was nothing to brag about, and I wanted a more interesting way to workout than sitting at home doing tapes or running on a treadmill.I found a yoga studio nearby and tried a free session. I waited a day (partly to think it over and partly becau… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I used yogajournal.com and built sequences using a very nice tool appropriately called Yoga Sequence Builder. They also have a podcast, so I could try a different sequence every couple of days. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started with tapes, but quickly found beginners classes. If you're new, try and find a class with less students. A full class can sometimes ruin concentration. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Free classes offered through my college -- they go on your transcript, so you have to attend -- otherwise I'd probably never be able to drag myself out of bed to get there at 8:30. Read how I did it…
mayagirl is tired of not finishing things.
How I did it: My gym offers many yoga classes. I began taking the Tuesday night class about a year ago, and have generally made the commitment to do yoga at least once a week. If I had time, I'd definitely go more often! Read how I did it…

I’ve always struggle to become an active person. My idea of a great night is to cuddle up with a good book, good wine, and any kind of chocolate. Exercising has never come easy. I have never been good at sports… was a bench warmer for my HS vball team.
I’ve recently joined a very expensive yoga class and after attending for 3 wks I can honestly say it makes me feel great. Problem is the class is at 5:45am… love the time cuz it allows me to get it done and over with first thing in the morn, but it’s oh so darn hard to get myself out of bed for it. Like with everything else though, once I’m up and I go, I’m happy I did it and my day is off to a great start.
My goal is to keep this going. I’ve started too many things before and let them go. I think yoga will do wonders for my marriage. It’s an investment, really.

I have come to the realization that my purpose in yoga is on body awareness and grounding. Purification may just be a side benefit.
Balancing on one leg getting easier – could set up tree pose now, even if I couldn’t hold it for the entire period.
Still getting too dizzy for camel pose. I need to be patient with myself.
shellkell wasting time
Re-joined the YMCA. Been doing some yoga. Getting better. Not really stressing on it. But gosh do I feel wonderful after a yoga class!

Still can’t do all the poses.
Got good advice from the instructor on how to balance better during Eagle.

I want to be able to at least set up properly, if not actually do, all the asanas in class.
Today I set up or made a good stab at doing everyone but Ustrasana (camel pose) – I just got too dizzy to put my head back, and had to sit in a kneeling position during that set. But today was the first day I made through all the standing and balancing poses, including tree pose, which I’ve had to sit out of in all the previous classes.
Since this my first entry about this goal, I suppose I should record my previous relationship with yoga:
I was introduced to yoga this past winter. There were a few months where I was practicing fairly regularly, if not daily. Unfortunately, as my school and work schedules increased, my time for yoga practice became nonexistent. I definitely enjoyed the practice and would like to reincorporate it into my daily life.
Lately, I’ve been going on morning runs. I have always been an (inconsistent) runner (maybe I should make that another goal). The past couple days I have been using yoga to warm up and stretch my muscles before my run and then to cool down my body after my run. This has been working out really well so far and I plan to continue doing it. My hope is that eventually I can extend my cool down into a longer practice.
joie de vivre is mellow
Attend yoga class at least 8 times in the month (an average of twice a week).
