Oh my - sounds like we have a convert... Ya know - we may get you
into pilates then onto weights ...

Shhhh! She might hear you! (And pretty soon the others will figure out
our nefarious peer-pressure plot to get people to exercise.)

[Isn't it nice to see peer pressure going in a positive direction?]

Sounds great! I'd like to try yoga. I don't know if there are any classes
here. Also, I have a bad shoulder, so don't know if I could even do it.
What
do you think, Bees?

If your instructor is aware of your physical limitations he/she can give you
modifications to accomodate. Mine seems to remember everyone's individual
quirks and gives out modifications with every move ("Sue, if your shoulder
is bothering you try doing *this* instead...")

That sounds great. I have been wanting to start a yoga class too, but
just
haven't had a chance to yet. I know, lame excuse. It is great that you
are
sticking with it. Have you noticed if you have been feeling alot more
flexible?

I'm not sure if I feel more flexible yet, but the breathing exercises have
been a big help.

How are you at The Tree posture? That's a difficult one for me. I can't
get
my leg up to where it should be, so I have to modify it a little.


I can get my foot all the way up over my knee if I place it there manually.

I had no idea the instructors were so accomodating. My general experience
with "exercise classes" is that they use commando tactics and you'd better
keep up or you face the ridicule of the other class members and the disgust
of the teacher. Phew!

...................-- instead, the instructor is there to assist you in
your
"personal practice." It sounds a little hokey taken out of context,
but one of
the lines I heard a teacher say recently was "Only do what is
nourishing to you
tonight."



imo,
this is as YOGA was intended to be practised.
