Barefoot and on the Mat - October, 2021 - Pumpkin Spice Edition!

[yogapam]

Hello everyone!

We had a fun weekend, laughed a lot & ate too much, but it was worth it! DS & DIL went home today.

Saturday:
~PT exercises
~Flow With Mira: Posture Series Day 5 - This was good, excellent instruction but more therapeutic & stretchy, not challenging Pilates.

Sunday:
~15 min rebounding
~15 min rowing
~PT exercises
~MELT: Hip & Pelvis focus

Monday:
~Ellen’s Dance Blast & Walk with Weights - I nixed both after 10-15 min, first had too many stops & starts, second was too repetitive.
~20 min gentle rebounding
~Ellen’s Pilates Mix - third time lucky, this was not challenging but very nice
~PT exercises
~MFML: Gentle Yoga to Aid Digestion - This was lovely, stretchy, twisty

Today:
~Essentrics class, my friend taught
~PT exercises

I signed for a month sub to Ellen Barrett’s streaming, which I do occasionally to sample her newest workouts. I really like her, but the first two I tried didn’t work for me.

Cyana - Thanks for the music links! I have seen a few Playing for Change videos & they are amazing! We like the Tiny Desk concerts on the YT NPR Music channel. Have you watched any?

Pat - So sorry to hear you had a flare up! I’m glad you are enjoying Medicine Walk. It’s one of my favourites this year for sure. I read Indian Horse by the same author a few years ago, very good but very sad.

Margot - Glad you’re able to hike! We have watched several seasons of Doc Martin & Port Issac is beautiful. I look forward to getting back to the UK again, we loved our time in Kent in 2019.

Beth - Glad you enjoyed your trip to the book sale, sounds like a good haul!

Waves to Paine, Carolyn, Sandra, KarenJo & anyone I missed!
