Re: Meditation / Yoga
Had my third yoga lesson this morning, I am enjoying this. I find the positions easy because I'm very flexible but am wondering if I'm getting the full benefit physically because the tutor says things like 'you should be able to feel your back/legs/whatever stretching' and I can't.Re: Meditation / Yoga
Can`t feel the stretch?-then carefully go half an inch more? but go easy it`s a fine line between not going further enough and too far-be patient!!Re: Meditation / Yoga
Well the yoga is coming along steadily and I love it, we practised the Warrior yesterday amongst other things. I would like to see OG do this after a few bevvies, balance is everything! That is something I thought I had, seems not as I was the only one out of the twelve of us who had to stand near the wall in case I toppled over. Very flexible, can do everything she asks easily but balance - no. She said it was important because balancing uses the fine muscles we don't often use and good balance can prevent us from falling over in our older years - yikes!Re: Meditation / Yoga
We returned to our over 50s yoga lessons today after the five week christmas break. Most of the previous people were there along with a couple of new ones. Was I happy to be back! OG is right, I pushed myself a little further and felt the stretch and didn't need to look at the teacher most of the time. As for the visualisation, where we all lay on the floor at the end while she reads us a thoughtful passage - hopeless - my mind was doing the shopping list. I wish I'd learnt all this years ago, I feel I have more 'up and go' today than for ages.
