Paine, glad you liked the video and that the seated part wasn't an issue for you.

Good morning! Happy first day of summer & international yoga day!

~2 walks, one in Sidney along the harbour & one in Victoria, 14,012 steps
~Bedtime stretch

Sunday:
~Campground & river trail walk, 14,085 steps

Monday:
~Vacation strength circuit with resistance bands
~10 km trail hike & 3 km walk to have dinner, 23,648 steps.
~Bedtime stretch

Cyana - Enjoy your visit with DS, (((hugs))).

Sandra - Glad you figured out your knee issue.

Beth - I hope to do one of your new yin practices when I get home.

Waves to Carolyn, Paine, Pat, Margot, & anyone who stops by!

Beth, I only did 4 minutes of the seated portion of your video.

Hi all!

Carolyn: Happy Birthday!

And Happy International Yoga Day to all my fellow Barefooters!

Today's Workout: I did the Upper Body routine from Fitness Fix Sports Conditioning. I then started the Hip Openers practice on Jane Adams's Yoga For Beginners. However, the first couple poses were completely impossible for my knees and unfortunately Jane didn't suggest any modifications.

So I decided to switch to Lying Poses For Flexibility on the same disc, which I've done several times now and love.

Take care!

Happy Birthday Carolyn!

Todays workouts:
~A friend’s Essentrics class on zoom
~Beth’s Afternoon Yin Yoga - I loved dragon & supported square, two faves of mine. I shortened the hold on melting heart & thread the needle as it felt a bit long for my neck & shoulders.

Waves to all!

Tuesday:
AM stretches
BFR legs - wall ball squats 15 reps x 3 sets, calf raises 20 reps x 3 sets

Carolyn, hope you had a good birthday!

cyana, just days ago we had highs in the mid-60s, but now we're getting the August weather too.

Pam, glad you found a way to make the practice work for you!

Sandra, the Yoga for Healthy Aging blog is doing a series on knees. The first post is about structural issues, which probably doesn't apply to you, but I thought I'd put the link here for you or anyone else who might be interested:

Hi everyone! Whoa, the Beyond Van Gogh was phenomenal!!! We could have stayed in there three hours. If it comes to your location, just go see it!

In the exercise world, yesterday was nada and Monday was an episode of Body Electric.

Happy belated birthday to our Carolyn! I hope you had a wonderful day.

Beth - thanks for that blog link. I'll sign up for notices. Did you feel a little bit drained after V.G.? Maybe it was just me, but I had to take a nap when I got home and felt kind of headache-y.

I hope everyone had a nice Solstice Day.

PS - I haven't looked at the chicks since last week - they've gotten big!!! Their heavy breathing when they sleep is so cute.

toaster · 06-22-22, 10:10 AM

Pat, so glad you liked the VG exhibit! I don't recall feeling drained, but we kind of broke it up by having the yoga in the immersion room first, then walking around and returning to the immersion room. Also, my friend and I went out to breakfast after.
