Any other yoga practitioners out there?

I haven't started yoga, yet...
But am a delighted beginner in Tai Chi...(especially on a sunny day like today when I can practice on my private deck, listening to the spring birdies!)... the positive energy is so refreshing!!
I want to start yoga, but need to take things slow... my Lupus and other health conditions make life very painful some days.

Really sorry to hear about the Lupus, Sweet.

I wish you well.

I *really* want to get into Tai Chi. I tried it once and felt soooooo uncoordinated and foolish. Good for you for working it.

Yeah, definitely take it easy with Yoga. There are some relaxation and very mild poses and movements that would work well for you, and I believe those will find their way to you when they're supposed to!!!

Good luck.

*hand raise* .

Lurvs it! Nothing works like it for my back, general flexibility and energy level. I prefer flow styles that incorporate a lot of movement heat and breathing rhythms. Currently recently restarted on a modest practice of most days for about 20 min-half hour.

Got my yoga DVDs and I have been taking them for a test drive. Very cool, but...ouch. Mrs. Strutt is definitely not as flexible as she thought she was

That's one thing about Yoga... You eventually get there, and that is incredibly rewarding!!

I can already see where I'm improving, little by little.
