Yoga Views

Just finished my third yoga session, just me and a yoga mat, watching a YouTube video in the living room. Super slow, super simple starter stuff. My first impressions are that:

1) Based on soreness later, I’m using my muscles much more than it feels like I am during the sessions. Which is awesome.

2) It’s very calming, just going through the motions. Which is really nice.

3) It’s all pretty easy to do right off the bat, but I can tell it would take a lifetime to perfect.

And 4) You’re working against your own weight, so let’s just say downward dog is pretty difficult when you weigh 400 lb.

Here’s the video I’ve been following:

Me: “What two servings of veggie or fruit are you having with dinner? I’ll let you choose.”

Little Miss Thing, age 7: “I’ll have carrots and ranch.”

Me: “And what else?”

LMT: “That’s two things.”

Me: “Ranch is not a veggie. Try again.”

LMT: “OK, then grape jelly. Grapes are fruit.”

Me: “Nope. Try again.”

LMT: “I want some… Coffee. It comes from beans.”

Me: “Absolutely not.”

LMT: “You never let me do what I want.”
