Who does yoga?

[Keesha]

I want to do yoga!

My insurance comes with a free Silver Sneakers membership, and my YMCA has a free yoga class. I've recently qualified, so I say I'm going to look into it. So far I haven't lol.

I just thought I'd throw it out there in case anyone else has the same type available.

That’s a great idea. CeeCee here has a Silver Sneakers membership and is enjoying it
I say , go for it

Yoga is for girls.

Real men pump iron.

Real men do what they want regardless of social pressure.

I do yoga and T’ai Chi, and also meditate twice a day

Well I rained here all day, and since the aftereffects of my cancer treatments seem to be subsiding, I decided to do a full yoga routine. It has been a full year, and my ability to do the routine was pretty sorry. I will, of course, start doing it a couple of times a week, but it was every bit as hard as it was the first time over 20 years ago.

I expected that it would be hard, but wow. Aside from the loss of strength and flexibility, the balance movements were daunting.

Now I have to go downstairs, where my wife will be expecting a "report" of some sort.

I do a few poses for a few minutes just before bed. It helps with pain and tension in my neck and back so that I can go to sleep.
I mostly do #4 ( very slowly up-down one vertebrae at a time), 5, 7, 12 (12, I do this seated on the edge of a chair). Sometimes do 32,34,47.48,49.
4,12, 34, 48, 49 do the most good for me.

I also do a couple Ti Chi moves that rhythmically ripples/wave like action (do it standing or seated on the edge of a chair) up-down the spine. Also do moves that put the L5 back in place, stretches for my neck and hips.

I found this really cool chart for some basic yoga poses. I started doing yoga some years ago, but never kept it up. I've been wanting to get back to it, but I don't have time for a class right now, so I needed some kind of tutorial or chart or video to get me rolling again. This looks like it will do! Anyone else do yoga?

Thank you. I need to be more flexible! Some of those I can't do but most I can.

I used to do a lot of those when young, I didn't even know I was doing yoga. I could never do any of the Lotus.

The Wall pose #11 and the Bridge pose #12 are GREAT for slimming the belly, even better than sit-ups or crunches. I also did the Cat Stretch but it's not on your chart

I've done Vinyasa core yoga before but, not much other yoga. Core yoga is hard but, great for stress.
