Well, I definitely wasn't as anxious about this second session. I still found I had to pay close attention to the instructor, and I was still cumbersomely self-conscious. I still suffered from shaking, straining muscles, but I found myself looking forward to the glorious reward at the end of the class: a good lie-down. (more…)
So today I tried yoga for the first time. It’s been a few hours now but my limbs are still feeling the effects: my legs are wobbly and my arms feel shaky; I'm kind of sore and everything's heavy. Honestly, I haven't had that good a workout in a long time. I also haven't been this exhausted in a long time. However, despite being tired, my muscles feel loose for once and...
Well, I’m still coughing but am feeling much better than I felt last week.
During the weekend, I decided to go back to my regular yoga class so that I could start to build more stamina and align my bones and joints, which were aching from my lying in bed when I had the flu.

A few weeks ago, I came down with a terrible cold. I hadn’t felt this bad since I was sick with the flu as a kid.
I wondered how I’d managed to catch this cold when I’ve always tried to take good care of my health by eating healthy food, including lots of fruits and vegetables, and doing regular exercise such as yoga. (more…)
When I left work last night, I was prepared for the traffic ahead. I was prepared to sit on the freeway for over an hour before I could get to my comfy home. It’s a typical expectation for someone who works and drives in LA, but what I was not prepared for was the rain. (more…)
Why is it that what seems to be a simple pose turns out to be the hardest? Take the mountain pose, for instance: it seems fairly easy enough – or is it? Anyone can just stand there, but I am sure there are a number of smaller, finer details that need to be addressed. I’m assuming the same will go for the other poses too.
This past weekend was Super Bowl Sunday. My next door...
People, in general, do not like being told what to do. “Oh, you’ve got to quit smoking”; “Hey, dude, don’t forget to put the toilet seat down”; “Stop biting your nails”; “Signal before you change lanes”...and the list goes on and on. I try not to give unsolicited advice to anyone, but when someone starts complaining about aches and pains, I can’t help but to say, “Do yoga”. Continue Reading: Yoga When Ready
Over the course of just a couple of months, I’ve had some unhappy news, but I’m only going to mention one here because it might help another reader to know that the heavy load you carry may not be one carried alone. Somebody else out there in this big-o world will have similar circumstances. It’s important to take care of yourself and particularly, while you may be concerned for the health and well-being...
Wow, I went to a yoga class again…this time, I went to the same class with the same instructor that I’ve been going to since the beginning of 2008. Some people tell me to go explore different studios, classes, and instructors. I would love to do that; it is actually on my list of resolutions for this year, but the main reason I’m going back to the same class is because it is available...
I decided to do a different style of yoga today called, “Tibetan Heart Yoga.” Before I actually go into reviewing the DVD, I want to talk about the concept of the DVD. Most of the yoga DVDs that I’ve seen focus on the individual yoga practitioner; the self. However, with this particular DVD, it focuses not only on the self, but on someone with whom you choose to share your yoga journey. I think... |
