~130 Hours of Yoga in ~6 months
Today’s class wrapped up my yoga year. Looking at my Konamoxt (aka Sweat365) logs, I’ve done about 130 hours of yoga since I started logging my practice in mid-June. I can’t honestly double that and say I’ve probably done 260 hours of yoga this year as I know I attended slightly less practice in the […]

The Good, The Bad, and the Not Too Ugly
I woke up to a relatively warm and relatively sunny Seattle winter day. It actually got to 50 degrees and the sun keeps winning the battles with the clouds. Being behind on my winter garden clean up has been driving me crazy for the last several weeks, so I bundled up, grabbed my tools, and […]

Ponderings on a Full Yoga Class
The yoga studio is still on a truncated holiday schedule, so today two classes were offered — one pilates; one all levels hatha. I went to the hatha class, and it was packed. At the start, Diane asked if anyone was completely new to yoga, so I’m assuming everyone there had done some yoga, but I […]

A Balancing Act
The saying You get what you pay for came to me in yoga today. It wasn’t what I’d paid for the class, but what I’d done to my body over the holidays that bubbled this one to my thoughts.
During the holidays, I wore heels, exhausting my feet. I didn’t exercise enough, tightening my usually limber […]

Santa’s Pedometer
One of my Xmas gifts is a pedometer. I unpackaged it today & started trying it out. It works by counting down your steps, alerting you when you hit your goal. I don’t think today’s numbers are going to be very good. I didn’t put it on until mid-morning, and I didn’t set it correctly […]

Xmas Eve Yoga
My yoga studio offers a limited schedule during holidays because attendance tends to be low. Today Sylvia taught an all levels noon class, which was the only class offered today. I often see Sylvia as a fellow student at my regular classes, but I haven’t taken a class from her since summer. I really should […]

Busy…busy…busy!
I haven’t logged anything since mid-week last week. So this is my lump log for last week’s workouts. Wish I had time or the tools here to break them out properly, but I’m taking credit for yoga on last Thursday and last Saturday in one shot.
One of my oldest friends in the world flew up […]

Hip Openers
Last night’s restorative yoga was exactly what I needed. As the approaching holiday makes life more hectic, it is nice to have a place to take a quiet pause. In this gentle practice we did a lot of hip work. My favorite of the night was a prop-intensive supine cobbler pose.
Using a strap, a blanket, […]

2007 = 40 = 6
I just got back from shopping for some holiday dress clothes. I found a perfect “little black dress”. I sighed when I saw that it was tiny — alas, a size 6/small. My friend encouraged me to try it on anyway.
I tried it on. It fit? It fit! I’m a size 6? I guess so…
I haven’t been […]
