Quote for MARCH 5, 2010

There's a chill in the air on my way to yoga this morning... ugh.  I want SUMMER.

I like this quote.  When folks attack you,  make it a positive....

A successful person is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks that others throw at him or her.  ~David Brinkley

Nessa, I would love to try yoga but I feel to darn big to even try. Thanks for the quote it is a good one.

Julie,

I've been doing yoga on and off a long time and I will admit that as I get thinner and more flexible and stronger it gets easier.  It's still very very hard for me as I have tight muscles and I'm NOT flexible.

BUT the WONDERFUL thing about Yoga is that it's a very private thing.  You can do it at home and you can do it at YOUR level.

There is something called CHAIR YOGA   do a google search for it and see what's there.

There are modifications for all the poses that you do at your level and you increase AS YOU CAN.

For me being mostly big bellied I looked at Yoga for Pregnancy.... that worked too.

Yoga is a PRACTICE not a perfect.

I used to just do what I could... NOW I push myself to do more.  and as such I fell in class on Wednesday.  I was embarrassed but I just picked myself up and kept going and the instructor was fine with it.... Folks fall out of the poses all the time... it means you're trying.  

feel free to PM me about it if you want to talk more.  Yoga is very empowering and very personal.

Thanks Nessa, I just came back from seeing my Mom. Sorry I am late getting this. I will look up the chair yoga. I am looking for something that will help my back. I also have fibromyalgia and was hoping that yoga would help me. I am sorry you fell but glad you got back up and pushed on. I will talk to you one day in person about the yoga. I appreciate your advice. I hope you have a nice day and a great weekend.

you're not late.. there is no time frame here that's what's cool.

hope you had a good visit with mom....

yoga has really helped my back... I woke up this morning and felt like a train hit me.  I still went to yoga and felt so much better afterwards....

Nessa, Sorry you felt rough but am glad that you feel better now. Hope you have a nice weekend.
