Saturday Yoga
Great class. Very full. Wide range of students. Wide range of poses and lots of flow. Had woken up feeling tight and a little sick — was worried either food poisoning or a flu was coming on. Whatever it was, I think I pushed the poisons out in class & now feel great. Hard to [...]

My Dad sent me a link to a WSJ article on Yoga this morning. It looks into whether yoga is sufficient for a complete exercise program or if added cardio work is also required. One point the article makes clear is that there are many different kinds of yoga and many different teachers. Each provides [...]

Strength Yoga
Thursday’s yoga class definitely goes under strength training rather than flexibility. We worked hard. A lot of vinyasa including several B-series salutations w/good ole chair pose. We did standing poses with twists and with binds. Those can be tough as they take a lot of balance as well as strength. And, we did a variation [...]

Hello Hamstrings
Weds Yoga focused on deep hamstring work. My left hamstring is my tightest point. I notice it all the time and am always working to open it from where it begins at the base of the pelvis down to the tip of my little toe where all the connections end. The deep practice was great. [...]

Monday Yoga
Monday yoga was lovely. Our instructor wasn’t feeling 100%. That, I think, on top of a couple of regulars who were still a little tired from the Saturday workshop and having a few new-t0-the-studio students lead us all to what I’d call Hatha II-III lite. Don’t get me wrong, it was a deep class, but [...]

Just Me and Shiloh on a Walk
Hoagie dog went home today, which meant Shiloh and I could go on a faster, longer walk. The sun broke thru a crazy, windy, wet storm so we took off for our normal walk thru the neighborhood. Lots of small branches came down in the wind, but nothing major was destroyed in our little area [...]
