Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi ! Good for you on having a date with Eoinn last night!! If I keep getting up early and you keep working out late we'll eventually be working out at the same time!! My hips have been pretty tight, too. Maybe I'll do Magically Hips tomorrow. My one cat, Shadow, always gets in my face when I'm on my mat -- the only time I mind is when I'm sweaty, something about cat fur sticking to sweat just doesn't appeal to me! Take care, Donna >You start off with the typicaly surinamaskara (sp?) series with >vinyasas, or connective movement from sun salutations common to most >yoga practices.

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 I have a kickboxing cat (Ceaser) and a Yoga cat (Tiny) as well. The other three haven't chosen their form of exrcise yet. I really hurt my lower back a week ago and it feels like it needs to be popped SO bad and I can't find a way to pop it. Any yoga moves you could suggest that might help?

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi a Sorry to hear about your back -- go easy! Do any of the seated twists help? I also like the " thread the needle " (I think that is what it is called) - move - you get down on all fours, then slide on arm under the other...hope that make sense....

Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Donna, I think I know the move you are talking about, but its my very low back right by my butt that hurts bad. It hurts when I pee its so painful. I fell on the same set of stairs twice in one day. Yowch! I had a chiropracter adjust it last time, but I can't afford to do that now. So I'm trying to find something that'll release the pressure. You know how you can tell when its a bone out of place and not a muscular pain? I envy those people who can pop their back just by twisting in a chair. That would feel so good right now. Thanks! a > Hi a > > Sorry to hear about your back -- go easy!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 , I'm so glad to hear you spent some time with Eoin. Doesn't it just make you feel better? I have to admit, I have been teaching so many yoga classes lately that I have let my own practice slide (teaching yoga is just not the same for me). So, you've inspired me to spend some time with Eoin tonight- after our Karate class (it will be the perfect topper). In bliss, > Well, lately I have paved my road to Hell with good workout > intentions. I have been so busy I've only been working out 3 times a > week or so, and that includes the two classes I teach.
