Tree Down!
Took a walk this evening with Bob and Shiloh, which was nice tho I realized that I was slowing both of them down. Alas the groin isn’t happy this evening. Did manage to “walk it off” for the most part.
On the way home we saw a couple of neighbors measuring our parking circle sign. In […]

Yoga Progress & more on being Certified Local
Went to yoga despite some soreness in my troublesome hip. Took it easy on any groin & outer hip poses. Focused my work on shoulder opening and other such things, which is a good place for me right now.
We did get to work on handstand. There was a time when I swore I’d never be […]

Yesterday I worked my eye & finger muscles more than anything else. I took the advice of many and stayed off my sore hip/groin for the day. It was hard to just sit still & read all day, but I do love a good book and seeing as The Power of One is really a […]

We went down yesterday & wandered about for several hours. My hip was a bit achy, so I took it slow. I really enjoyed Brave Combo; loved “The Hava […]

Handstand = yes; Lunge = no
I did go to yoga today. Took it very easy…no hip work & no groin work for me. We did do a lot of upper back opening & shoulder work, which is a good place for me to focus. We did partner handstand work & I managed to engage my core & hold myself up […]

Acupuncture update
I had a great session with my acupuncturist today. Heather incorporates many therapies together with great results. As well, she’s one of my yoga teachers, so we’re able to discuss stretches that are appropriate (and inappropriate). So, here’s what happened in my session.
First she talked to me about what’s been going on & evaluated the […]
