View from my Yoga mat today

[CBDB]

Took my daily Yoga (YWA Day 17 Slow and Gentle) outside this late morning, and it was delicious. The 28 min practice felt more like Tai Chi, although by the end of it, I had a thin sheen of sweat on my forehead. It is part of her series Yoga for Seniors, so not sure I feel targeted or not 😄, but it really was gentle on knees, back, calves, anything really.

But it was great to do this with leaves, grasses and trees all around me.

Gentle and delicious. 😄😅🧘🏻‍♀️🌳

Happy Yoga-ing everyone, and why not take it outside?

Wasn’t it yummy CBDB? I agree, gentle, but sneakily warming. 😀

Love your view. Mine was of my cat and dog lying spread out on the bed! Shame I didn’t take a pic. 🥰

Looks fab and actually might be exactly what I need... saving this link x

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Couchpotato2]

Gentle and slow! Perfect for hot days, as it’s not adding to the heat! ☺️ very much, that is. 😅

I took my mat to the recreation ground the other day, so that I could stretch on it near the woodland that I ran in the other day. It wasn’t as pretty a view as that though 👍

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Maddee_6333]

Nice. But in the open it’s definitely great, right?

[Maddee_6333 in reply to CBDB]

Right 👍Plus, if you have a mat, people aren’t as likely to ask if you’re okay as they walk by and see you lying on the ground 🤣

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Maddee_6333]

Savasana looks a bit odd without the mat 😂😂😂👍🏽

What a great idea CB, might give that a go☺️

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

Definitely. I have a bag beside my yoga basket now, always with a picnic blanket, but I throw in my mat, blocks, phone and out I go.

Lovely view! Glad you're still enjoying YWA. I've been dipping in and out of Process this month as I trapped a nerve in my back in June and it's taken a while to be able to do all the poses again. But all ok now. I did Day 14 today but the view was of my car parked outside 🤣

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Definitely. Hope your nerve is all ok. See you on the mat! 👍🏽💪🧘🏻‍♀️👏👏

What a delightful view from our yoga mat 😊I will give that gentle yoga a go - looks good. I did my first day of 5 min Tai Chi, after reading your post earlier. Loved it - I was amazed how my body/mind had remembered the moves, felt natural (last did Tai Chi over 30 years ago!!).

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to skysue16]

Yes, it was my first Tai Chi and I and hubby really liked it.

[Cowladyrunning]

Beautiful tree view ....beautiful tree! That sounds a good yoga practice too 😊

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to Cowladyrunning]

Yeah, my favourite tree in our garden. A bit too big and shading too much of it, but it has its moment. Also for our son, you can just about see the climbing rope and the swinging handles. We moved here after 5 years in a house without garden, so it felt great!

[LottieMW]

Sounds lush!

[CBDB Administrator Graduate Gold in reply to LottieMW]

Yes, today was a bit hotter and longer but also lush! 👍🏽😃👏

[LottieMW in reply to CBDB]

Maybe too long for me…
