When we were at the vet yesterday with Ivory, our parakeet, both Bob and I did tree pose in the waiting room. It was relaxing and calming. It's good to have these "tools" to work with so when you are in a stressful situation you have the techniques at your disposal.

Wow, it is just amazing how time scampers by when one is not paying attention. I just did a full yoga set today, the first time in apparently a very long time. I need to make this part of my daily routine again. My muscles definitely are not as stretchy as they used to be. One day at a time. Today was a good yoga day .

Lisa, have you read anything about using weights while doing yoga?

Enjoyed a lovely yoga session on the back porch with hummingbirds, dragonflies, a cute tree frog, Julie the cat, and a circular rainbow!

Does buying yoga pants count?

Absolutely Chelle - every step is a step in the right direction!
How about just giving yourself some "halos" for the day, to celebrate. Sit up straight and gently rotate your head as if it was making halos.

My back and neck have been so stiff lately, I had been thinking of giving some (very) mild yoga a try. I know I don't need yoga pants to do yoga, but it makes me feel more like it, lol!

Chelle -
Every little bit helps! Try doing even "arm flaps". Stand and gently rotate left, then right, as if your arms were loose coat sleeves. Let them flap against your body at the end of each turn. It helps to loosen your spine and feels nice.

A lovely yoga session on my back porch - but last night's massive rainstorm seems to have swept away the cute tree frog. I can't find him! I hope he's all right. I did see many dragonflies.
