I'm a tree I'm a tree I'm a tree I'm a tree
Evilducky invited me to a yoga class with her last night, and it was FABULOUS. It had probably been over a year since I'd done any yoga, but I was happy to find I could still do most of the poses. Not well, mind you, but I could do them.
My favorite yoga poses have always been the standing ones, and I was happy that the teacher had us do quite a few of them. I was actually able to do all of these, though I did practically fall over halfway through most of them.

My hips are old-lady achy today, but it was totally worth it. I am definitely going back! How about you guys? What's your favorite yoga pose?
I am ridiculously in love with cobra pose. I also adore child's pose and thunderbolt.
ReplyDeleteIs there a 'holding beer' pose? Cause if there is, then that one is totally my favourite.

I've never done yoga, though I'd LOVE to start. i'm glad you had a good workout!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite pose is hanging rag doll. Seriously. That feels SO good, especially when you sway side to side to loosen up the spine. Ahhh...it's like a big drink of water for my muscles. Of the harder poses, I really like crow, but that's just because I really want to be able to do it well, and it's one I work on a lot. I like tree pose too - one of the few I can actually keep my balance on the "right" way!
ReplyDeleteI suck ass at yoga, but I still attempt it periodically. You have inspired me to try it again today. Thank you.
