Rodney's Yoga for Energy and Stress Relief (Soothe and Stretch practice)

PAT!! I saw mother osprey sitting on an egg this morning at the live webcam link!
Birds are one of the few species where the fathers help with nest-building, incubation of eggs and care of their young.

Pam, yes I had a good workout with Margaret yesterday.
Sherry told us about Yoga With Bird and I really like that YouTube channel. Sherry, I'm thinking about you!

Paine, thanks for the osprey heads up - DH & I just took a look!

Pam, I hope to try one of the Shiva Rea practices too, maybe today.

Carolyn, good luck finishing out the semester! Classes end 1 week from today for us, but things are slowing for me (3 of my 4 scheduled clients today have cancelled).

Nice yoga class last night with 6 in attendance (plus one on livestream). Seems like attendance has picked up now that people are starting to be vaccinated. There's an Open House at the studio on Saturday, so that will probably help too.

Happy Hump Day!

I think it's possible that Mama O laid her first egg. She is in the incubating posture right now so I can't see if anything is under her, but this morning on my cellphone I think something was there. Their eggs are have a dusky pink-ish / purple-ish mottling on them.

Hi all!

Today's Workout: Classical Stretch episode 603, followed by Margaret Richard Unplugged episode 1903. Earlier this morning I completed a 2-hour walk, but by the end it was too warm for my comfort level. For the summer I'll have to shorten my walks and/or start them very early.

No workout yesterday as Life got in the way. It was worth it, though -- besides dinner out with two friends, I also got a professional pedicure! It was nice to be pampered, and my nails do look pretty. However, I also found myself watching the technician to see what she did, since I bet with a little help from the Internet this is something I can do for myself.

Yogapam: Oooh, I haven't had falafel in forever!

Carolyn: The "D" word (drought) is being thrown around a lot up where I live, too. Unfortunately that almost certainly means bad forest fires, which (besides threatening people, their homes and their livelihoods) leads to gunky air over the summer and fall.

Waving to all!

Today’s workouts:
~7.5 km walk
~Worked on Essentrics trademarks for tomorrow’s class
~MFML: Metta Flow - A lovely gentle flow with moon salutations. Some nice shoulder openers & no planks or chats.

Sandra - You’ve put me in the mood for some falafel. We eat a lot of chick peas in hummus, salads, & soups too. I hope you and Carolyn get some rain.

Pat - Yes, there’s an egg in the nest, so cool!

Beth - I’m glad your class attendance is picking up.

Paine - That Yee practice sounds very relaxing!

Waves to all!

Happy Birthday, Sandra!!! Glad you treated yourself to a pedicure; what color did you choose? I paint my toes at home regularly, but there's something about how they shape them (not to mention the yummy foot massage!) that I find pretty hard to replicate myself.

Pam, you are great about nailing your tree pose in a variety of locations! I've been enjoying your photos on FB.

Pat hope you have been able to see the egg by now! The first time I looked, mama bird (I presume!) was sort of hovering over it, so the egg was clearly visible.

Happy Thursday! Heads up that KCM has a few new "raw" workouts on her YouTube channel; I tried the boxing/legs one yesterday and liked it.

Yesterday featured:

~ LWR 7 Minute Feel Good Workout
~ Office movement challenge: plies and shoulders
~ Ellen's Shape Bikini Ready Fast
~ 7,000 steps for day

I forgot what a good workout BRF is. I received this in a Share the Wealth and it was the third time I've bought or traded or begged for it. Why did I ever get rid of the first two? Maybe I need her Shape Slim & Sleek Fast now.

Paine, good job on your back to back MRs. Aren't birds the best? She gets pretty snotty with him sometimes, too. This morning he was grooming her back.

Pam I bookmarked that Five Parks moon yoga, it sounds perfect, thank you.

Carolyn, I wish we could send you some rain. We had a deluge the other night. I think I've given up on Kassandra's evening yoga - should try some more.

Beth, thanks for the KCM tip. I've never tried a free Raw. Good news about your attendance picking up!

Sandra, your pedicure sounds wonderful. :love; I bet your feet loved it after those long walks.

Good morning to one and all!

Wishing our Sandra a very
Have a wonderful day! A pedicure is such a nice treat.

Pat - I find Ellen’s older workouts so much better than her newer ones. I just peaked at the nest & one of the couple, likely mom, is nestled in there keeping the egg warm.

Beth - Yes, I’ve done tree pose in many locations. Yesterday’s spot is a fave in our neighbourhood. They’ve filmed several scenes for Chesapeake Shores there.

Back later to post my workouts.
