Yoga

I read about a DVD for the non-yogi called The No Om Zone by Kimberly Fowler. Anyone have any experience with this one?

I don't like to buy until I have tried it and this one isn't available through the library yet.

Thanks,
Andrea

Just started going to Yoga classes a few weeks ago.

Im rather shocked at what a QUICK improvement to my self esteem it can be-

Not because I can do ANY pose- not even the dead mans pose, without a modification. Cause I cant.

But because from one day to the next I can see an improvement, even if its a slight one. And I can feel changes in my body- in a safe way- that are awesome.
Its not easy for me to be present in my body that feels SAFE. Its rare. Im finding it very powerful.

Strange, Paphigleo and I did Yoga together a couple of weeks ago. And Tai Chi this week.

I found Tai Chi to feel akward for me, harder to focus on the point of it, and easily was distracted by how I looked/how disjointed all the movements were for me. Unlike how I feel in yoga.

Whats strange is Paphigleo feels vice versa about the 2- Tai Chi speaks to him, the way Yoga speaks to me.

We both agree that each form of movement kicks our asses, later that day, and the next day, and...

The observation humors both of us, cause that follows our Yin Yang pattern well.

This is a new one for me too; never heard of it. You'll have to let us know what you find out.

Adding yoga to exercise routine helps with mobility in weight lifting, strength training etc.

*Raising hand*

I am SO looking forward to getting back to yoga a few times a week now that my semester at "what the fuck was I thinking" is winding down.

I have a quaint but perfect little studio here in town that is operated by a progressive hippie-type (who, consequently, has the best yoga-booty I've ever seen!) and she emailed this morning to see if I'd be coming back.

A couple of friends from work used to join me but I'm going with or without them this time. It's amazing for recentering the mind but also for detoxing the body. I always feel so amazing when I'm done!
