Baby Steps. Yoga...Day 3 & 4








Hi Kids! For those following the progress of my yoga adventure, I'll be tweeting the daily updates from now on so I can keep the blog for my other musings...Love that word.

Look for my progress at #bitchcraftradio. But fyi, I did do Day 3 = Hip openers. Today was Forward bends. I'm totally getting yoga from a completely different perspective now too. Ah the wisdom of consciousness!

What are your baby steps?

Baby Steps. Yoga...Day 2


Argh!

It was so nice and drizzly and cool this morning, I stayed in bed on my computer far longer than I should have. There's a reason this dvd I have is called "A.M. Yoga for your Week." Because once your brain is stimulated with the flotsam and jetsam of your life, it's hard to keep your mind clear and focused on the poses. I did the 'twists' today...amazing stretches...although I mourn my formerly more flexible body. Favorite pose still? You guessed it...Relaxation. Ahhhhhhhhhh. Baby Steps!

I found this picture captioned "Russian Yoga"...See? Relaxation Pose.

Baby Steps. Yoga...Day 1


If I think of myself as a large computer that crashed catastrophically in 2009, then the past 11 months have been about slowly rebuilding my hard drive. Today marks the day I begin uploading the software back on...Actually, I started in January with changing my hair color. It's all about making the maintenance simpler. Next was taking a step toward adjusting what I eat. Yes, it's still about losing weight...in many ways, the black coffee and cigarette diet was so much easier! Hahaha. But I'm really trying to listen to my body and let it tell me what it needs and wants. Dangerous you say? What if your body only wants Budino puddings from Mozza? Well, it doesn't...not all the time anyway. ;)


Today marks a red letter day in the rebooting of me! I began doing yoga again. I bought a Rodney Yee dvd with 5 different workouts. Each workout is 20 minutes. My goal is to learn the poses well enough again to be able to take my mat and do the entire routine of 5 workouts outside. Today I completed Standing Poses. My favorite? Relaxation pose...which if you're familiar, is done laying down. Baby steps. Baby Steps.
