lots to report yoga wise

last night i did wii fit yoga as well as 2 sets of push ups/planks. i

unlocked the 20 reps but i dont' think i am quite ready. going to stick

with the 6 reps doing 2-3 sets then move up to 10 reps for 2 sets and

build up from there. they are not easy especially trying to keep from

and balance for the wii board to count your reps. i also tacked on some

other wii fit strength exercises just for fun doing planks and side leg

lifts for balance and tricep extensions just b/c i don't do them enough

on the game(then again you don't use weight so its not 100%

challenging) but i did do the 20 reps per arm. i did some stretching on

my own before bed.this morning stuck with another scheduled workout with yoga zone basics

.. like most other yoga zones this is a 40 min workout broken into 2-20

minute segments. so it could be use in a more versatile manner for what

one is up to that day. i did both. seeing this is basics, it wasn't an

overall challenge but it was a nice gentle workout and did give some

good stretch and opening to start my day. the first segment is led by a

lady named michelle while her male partner al worked with her

demonstrating poses. in the second half al lead while michelle worked

with demonstrating. at times it seemed to move slow and i wanted to

rush but that wasn't a bad thing. learning to slow down and work on

breath and form is something IMO, the every yogi should try. some get

so hung up on power/ashtanga yoga and this free fast flowing that

sometimes you should take it down a notch. b/c purpose is to bring the

healthy vibrant relaxed feeling of yoga into your everyday life. if you

can't do it on the mat then how can you do it in life LOL. great lesson

huh? well anyway once i caught myself i either held a post until they

caught up and just focused on breathing. then flowed with them in slow

movement.may or may not do stretching later. its not "you have

to or fail thing" but it would be nice to add it in slowly here and

there to relax. tomorrow i have christi taylor up. haven't picked a

specific workout but i want it to be step.
