Beginner's Yoga - Ouch!

Winter has struck our area once again.  Over the past couple of years we have gotten used to milder temperatures, but last night we had some snow and the temperatures dropped, and next week will be worse.  Today is -3 C but with the windchill it feels like -18 C (-4 F)

NHL lockout finished so my hubby very happy-Go Leafs Go!
 Because it was so cold this morning, I decided to try something new.  For Christmas my daughter bought me a yoga mat and at Costco I found a beginners DVD for $7.99 (gotta love Costco).  The treadmill was just not calling my name this morning.  I became inspired by Caron's post at At Goal Weight Watcher to try out my DVD (sorry Caron, I thought we had the same DVD, just a brain freeze on my part!).


I am finding that I feel more and more inflexible as time goes by and wanted to try something new.    "Mamma Mia"!  This was beginners.  It just goes to show how inflexible I am.  I did get through the 30 minutes, but was not able to do a lot of the poses properly. I am sure it was not a pretty sight to see.  For one, I was too busy looking up at the TV to see how they were done and secondly, my body just wouldn't cooperate.  I am going to try to do this DVD at least twice a week.

For those of you interested, I have not stepped on the scale this week and tomorrow morning is my WW weigh in.  I will talk more about this in my next post.

Have a great weekend!

  1. Yoga is harder than it looks. Good going for trying something new; and also for not stepping on the scale this week!

  2. I have completed the first three routines for a total of one hour. I am going to go through the beginners DVD and then go back and do it again. Yesterday I was doing the reclining cobbler's pose and was encouraged to use blankets to support my knees, but my blankets were not tall enough. I needed a LOT of support. :)

    I thought it was creepy that they had a pose called the corpse pose so I googled it and they said it was like playing dead for a few minutes. Weird.
