today my yoga routine was good i am not sore and i feel great
i am very proud of myself too.
James is a great help to me and has given me tips on how i can improve my asanas
and i have to practise the individual segments of the flow as it is called in this program
why it is called the flow is because once you know the asanas well you are supposed to go from one asana to another without stopping moving slowly the flow is choreographed like a dance routine designed to exercise every mussel in your body.
like the other day when my mind and body wanted to stop i didn't feel like that today i just went through each asana some easily and some with difficulty.
my tummy is coming in beautifully and my cellulite has gone i cant believe it if i hadn't seen it or experienced it for myself then i would never have believed it.
one thing i know for sure is that all this yoga stuff is true.
harmony was created by my husband and i about our personal journey with yoga and health. written in an easy to understand way posts written by myself and photos taken by the author and the editor my hubby.

to the next level of yoga
my second day on this new program was not a good one.
i don't know if it was just nerves or if i was just having a bad day.
in a way it is like starting from scratch.
to me this is nerve racking and exciting at the same time i am having trouble with my left and right so I'm getting some of the asanas {wrong} James said he will help me till i get familiar with this yoga program like he did with the last one i have asked James to watch me on how i carry myself because you don't take notice on how you walk or if you sit, slouch, etc do you?
so this will be interesting to see what yoga does
it is good to have anothers point of view because we all have set backs we are all human after all
I'm going to do my yoga now i will give you the full report on how i went.
god god !!!
what a workout i feel like i have been pulled in every direction
you see your body and mind wants to give out before you do but you cant
you have to push through the discomfort and keep in the asana {pose} for as long as you can.
that is what i did as hard as it was i pushed through the negative thoughts and pain barrier to achieve my goal.

on the harder asanas James says i have mastered 60 to 70 percent right but i still have a way to go but with a daily yoga practise i will get there.

tips
wait for an hour after you have eaten before performing your yoga routine.
always warm up before you practise yoga with the sun salutation {prayer to the morning sun }
be in comfortable loose clothing
always have a blanket nearby for when you do relaxation after yoga.
always have a radox bath or shower after yoga to relax your muscles.

yoga paying off
yesterday i did a new yoga programme called "anatomy of yoga"
i would not recomend this DVD for the beginner. i was surprised at how much i could do.
it just shows yoga is paying off i have been doing yoga on and off since 07 but seeing how flexible i have now become and am now an avid yogi i love this new programme and have used mussels i didn't know i had.
i didn't realise i needed to step up my yoga routine to a harder one it feels like i have been to the gym for the first time
the yoga DVD programme is relaxing , teaches you how to breathe correctly { diaphramic breathing}
and teaches you to do yoga with care.
in my opinion this yoga DVD programme is for intermediate level and is a great one

i have had a blog post ready to go for some days now but the computer has been playing up
so haven't been able to put it on you know how it goes with computers

mum is 64yrs young and is just starting she reminds me of me when i first started

I'm proud of her
my friend Lillian is good for 70 but when the asans {poses} get to hard Lillian does her physio exercises which are similar to yoga anyhow about to start yoga with mum i will tell you how we go after.
well mum and i did our yoga amongst people mowing lawns ,Christopher spitting seed on my yoga mat and mobiles going off all the while Harriet zonked out on the couch with not a care in the world.
it just shows how relaxing yoga is with all the noise it doesn't matter you can do yoga at any age
