Back from another hiatus  I can feel it in my spine if I haven't done yoga in a while. It was an absolutely gorgeous day. I just finished an hour of yoga on the back porch. Sun shining, birds singing, kitty sprawled next to me. How are you guys doing?

OK yes once again I let life distract me. Time to start afresh.
As soon as my graphics card installs I plan on going out for a short while, to get my day started. You guys know I work at night so I don't wake up until 2pm or so. Which is nice in that my "morning" yoga is in full warm sun even in the fall. I like to do my yoga on the back porch.

Today I just did some gentle twists, but it was certainly better than nothing! I need to carve out more time for yoga.

I started practicing Bikram yoga 5 weeks ago and have been going 4-5 times a week. I definitely takes more commitment than my yoga class at the YMCA. I used to go to the Y 2-3 times a week and if I missed a class, I didn't stress about it. I think with Bikram, you kind of have to go more often or you can't improve.
I've noticed a lot of benefits to hot yoga though and really like it. It's a real challenge.

That's great to hear, BoomerGal!
I did an hour of yoga this morning, as dawn was arriving. It was lovely!

I did a sun salutation early in the day - it's my all-purpose get up and go stretch - I'm 60+ BTW

Hi Susan I love how yoga is so universal and available to everyone. Sun salutation is such an awaken for the whole body. Good to hear how it helps you. I was up at the crack of dawn to pick my son up from the airport and missed my session today. Will have to do some stretches and meditation later

I did morning yoga yesterday, and today I again was able to do it. I'm getting into a rhythm! I really enjoy doing yoga while watching the birds out my sliding glass door. It brings an additional layer of peace.

I'm still doing 90 minute hot yoga classes and loving it! I didn't start doing it to lose weight but I've gone from a size 10 jeans to a size 6! I never thought I would evenn see size 8 again. All this happened over the holidays, BTW and I didn't do anything special with my diet.
