But what a fun mess we make!!! My toys are my workout stuff & crafting stuff! I have big messes when I play with either!

I think my sis does all of those types of yoga.

I totally understand what you're saying. I want to focus on my workouts, not my problems. I do my own prayer, relaxation, controlled/deep breathing, etc. I do get that it is helpful for a lot of people though.

I think my sister's favorite is Yin. I'll be picking her brain. And taking advantage of her skills. I do like Restorative though so there is that one.

Awwwww, I don't think your post was disparaging at all. I don't do the spiritual side of yoga either. I just want the physical benefits. I respect anyone's belief systems too.

Same here! Well, not the plants, but I did have to learn a new way of holding on to things! LOL! I don't have wedges but now I think I may get some. And bolsters. I've seen lower body stuff that uses the wedges as well. I have my barbell but don't use it as much because I can't hold it behind my...

I don't do the spiritual side of yoga, although I know many people do & enjoy it. I have done the LMR Yoga & I think of all of Cathe's, this one is my favorite. I love to do the restorative yoga before bed. I also enjoy her Chair Yoga.

I'm not into the spiritual yoga. I just add it in to get the benefits of the moves best I can.

Even in my 20's, I didn't like yoga. And I had no thoughts one way or the other about liking it or not. I think as I've tried over the years, I've had more issues with aging & injuries. After my shoulder replacement, yoga got even more frustrating because the range of motion is restricted. It...

I was doing those same modifications but really didn't feel much except pressure on my shoulders. But when I tried modifying with the yoga blocks, it made a huge difference & I really got a wonderful lengthening stretch through the entire back side of my body that I hadn't really felt before.

Hi! I think when my sis comes to visit in the next couple of months, I'm going to ask her to give me some personal instruction with the yoga using blocks. She's a fitness instructor (mainly barre) & she loves yoga. I have tried my whole life to like yoga & NEVER could. This may be why. I...

I have always dreaded doing moves like Downward Dog & stepping through from Plank to Spiderman type moves. I think I've figured out why they are so frustrating for me. The answer...short arms. Short arms decrease the distance between the torso and the floor, requiring a more severe hip flexion...

I am now 62 years old, & have been spending a lot of time researching exercises that are often neglected that are vital for people over 50. I am so pleased that all of the exercises that have been repeatedly recommended are included in the various Cathe workouts. Cathe has done an impeccable job...

I just did the Candy Hearts download for the first time. If you haven't tried it yet, check it out! Time went by super-fast! A total favorite!

Does anyone else have trouble doing superman moves because it really hurts the pubic bone? I absolutely cannot do them without some extra cushion underneath & wonder if it messes with alignment for those exercises. Is it related to my low back issues? I've never been able to get a straight...
