anyone do yoga?

[Cappuccino]

my quest to find a yoga-ing mner continues

I have just started

yes i do

it is the finest hour of my week

Errr...not any more. Well not officially as in classes. I have been known to do the odd sun salutation, plough or (hopping) crane (??) even now though. Never got the hang of standing on my head one.

Yes, love it.

About to start an antental class (although that tends to be perhaps a bit too gentle to the point of nearly falling asleep).

Do struggle with the lying down breathing/quiet meditation time at the end of the class - I don't often get to lie down quietly in a dark room and I tend to want to fall asleep rather than concentrating, pregnant or not!

It is hard to find the space (physical and mental) and time to practice yoga without going to classes I find. Which is a shame.

Yep, been doing it for years, love it. Makes me feel that all is right with the world.

I am going on a weekend yoga retreat in a few weeks hoorah

I got a 'Yoga for Chronic Fatigue' book and the woman was running one

I have tried to get up early in the morning but dd2 comes and jumps on top of me and plays with my boobs

a weekend retreat sounds dreamy

yes no kids

no booze though

Is it the yoga foundation?
If so they are great, they're based near us.

no is some quaker place in Surrey

but probably plenty of wheatgrass juice

you will feel very cleansed

i hope you enjoy it

very jealous

I don't know what it will be like tbh

it is for people with Chronic Fatigue

so it will either be incredibly uplifting and energising or will be a weekend away with miserable ill people moaning and no drink to block them out with

never mind at least I will be able to feign a relapse and go lie down without comment

i hope it does improve things for you

i find yoga incredibly energising although relaxing at the same time

aches and pains that i have had for ages are diminishing

would anyone be interested in a yoga thread?

I have been reading lots about meditation and listening to podcasts

I would love to talk about it with people

thread sounds good

you and me then Ruby

just the two of us practising our downward dogs then

we shall be very bendy, have arms like Madonna and everyone else will be very

Hi
Doing yoga keeps me from seizing up completely and makes me calmer. I do a class once a week at my DCs school.

Still no chance of ever looking like Madonna tho!

PS

have you thought about posting this on chat? I only stumbled on this by chance...

hello, me too I was actually attempting to put my foot behind my head last night in classic yoga style.

Have recently returned to yoga (used to do quite a reasonable amount pre-dcs) but am struggling to find a good local teacher ... am on my third locally, & she's this best of the bunch, but doesn't correct individuals (which I need) & does everything so fast I'm practically dizzy at the end of a class

Need to find something slower & more meditative...

I've been reading a lot about meditation and listening to some podcasts

I'm trying to empty my brain and do the nice breathing but I am too much of a worrier

I am waiting for Enlightenment to come but I just get bored

maybe I am spiritually bereft

Me too, although I haven't managed to get to any classes since dd was born, but do my sun salutations etc most days. Wish I could do more. A weekend retreat sounds like just what I need - tell us more, capp.

I don't know any more really

it was a bit of a whim tbh

dh just said go for it

Being in a group at the weekend should be very soothing/energising, I find it almost impossible to get the right moment to do any yoga at home...
