I would do naked if everyone was also naked. If everyone's bellies and boobs are hanging down, and it's not just me, I would be fine with it.

Oh, and yes, Lisa, camel toe is an old term. If a really not nice one. But it is also apt for what it looks like. lol

Deb, yeah, when i do my "fake yoga" - ie - a slow stretching session - I am always barefoot.

Today was my first real yoga session, with my new mat, and i was barefoot. The mat was nice and sticky. I can't see doing yoga with shoes since it seems that so much of the poses need to be really fine-tuned with your stance and feeling the ground through your feet.

Lisa, if you are cold in barefeet you might want to move your space heater in your yoga area.

I thought that it was a nicer term then describing what it is.... I guess I could have said widge in the front or something but...

Jilly definitely I agree with you that barefoot seems to be the way to go.

I'm doing yoga in our main living room so I think I will just turn up the heat a little during daytime hours for the next month or so, until it gets naturally warmer outside. I shouldn't be freezing to death in my own home I think

So Jill I've lost track, are you doing yoga with a DVD, or just doing poses that you know?

just with a few yoga books i picked up at Goodwill. I was doing it with dan today when i realized it's pretty hard to be trying things out while also using a book. since i have to keep referring to the book, it might take me while.

We realized that Dan had downloaded a yoga DVD from a few years back, so then we tried that. I'll report on that in the yoga DVD thread.

Yes I imagine using a book would be hard - it really does help to see the poses in motion and to hear the descriptions. I think there are many YouTube yoga videos, can you see a computer screen while you work out?

Oh on clothes which was the whole reason I was in here, try going to amazon into their Apparel area and searching on "yoga". Pretty much EVERY pair of pants they show has the boot / wide bottom hem problem that is trying to kill me!! It's on ALL of them.

I normally don't like capris because to me it seems like the pants are "too short". I think this is because in school when I was young I often had too short pants (we weren't rich) and I was made fun of for it. But I have to just get over that feeling and get some I think. With the capri I won't be killing myself which is a good thing.

Oh and also none have actual waists!! They all come across the hip. I finally realized on these "yoga pants" I wear now that they are meant to ride across the hip and not up at my waist. Which is why they felt a bit tight to me. I like pants that are on the waist, not across the hip. Maybe that's impossible in modern times

OK I just got off the phone with Bob - we're going to cut 2" off the bottom of these 3 pairs of pants I have and re-hem them. That way they stop killing me and I don't have to buy more pants. I'll do that tomorrow. I just have to be careful on the stairs until then!
