yoga saves me!

this is one happy spider plant. look at all those babys.

Serenity... peace... beauty!

there's a good chance, at 63, and the way I bang around life :) that I wouldn't be moving too well....without this. Thank god I discovered it...so many years ago. The real beauty of it is shown in this lovely man's stream. Nice, huh? But the wonderful thing about yoga is there's no 'one' way. Extreme 'twisted pretzel' poses, or gentle stretches by bodies who've seen their stronger days....it's one of the most rejuvenating and nourishing things anyone can do for themselves.

I Love the symetry of this picture. I adds something to the peace of your posture.
I think I should try Yoga. I would certainly help me deal with stress and anxiety...

So True! So True! I just took up Iyengar (sp?) yoga 3 weeks ago and it has done more to relieve my pain and stiffness from Fibromyalgia (supposedly) and bad back. I feel so much better and I am only doing a 1/10th of what other people can do in these poses. Love, love yoga!!

You';ll be pleased to hear that I have been doing a yoga podcast once or twice a day since May. My artist daughter in Chicago got me started when I went to visit her. Some day Ill do a self portrait when I get my old fat body in some sort of interesting position. I just discovered that the pain in my foot is a heel spur. The exercise that the podiatrist showed me looked suspiciously like a vertical version of down dog, so there is more motivation to stick with it. Although I thing the main benefit has been to my emotional state...just let it go...
