Try some kundalini yoga... check out Ravi & Ana's dvds on amazon. They've done wonders for my stress... and my fitness levels.

I recently purchased a kickboxing dvd called "Thrive", which is lots of fun and very high energy. I got it at Borders.

Wondering what "funky" practice you did to your new age music, Lori! This is funny. My DD had a gymnastics competition today and felt nervous. So I tried to teach her the meditation from kundalini yoga: think Sat when you breathe in, and Nam when you breathe out, closing your eyes, looking...

Hi all! Last night, I did Ravi Ana's Dance the Chakras... that dvd actually makes me feel so graceful and powerful. I know Lori mentioned that she likes the woo-woo factor... I love the woo-woo factor in the ravi/ana dvds. Today, I had a morning vinyasa class, and she did some new balancing...

It's a rainy day here in NY... at this time of year, I'd prefer to see a little snow. Anyway, Lori, is Candlelight yoga more of a lunar kind of flow? (just wondering why it's called candlelight). Yesterday I did 40 min premix of Patrick's Hard Work Conditioning (love him!), followed by the...

Guess what? Today was a rest day for me! Unless you count crazy holiday shopping as working out. I keep checking out the ravi/ana pre-orders on amazon... I"m so tempted to buy them! Is it freezing cold where you are? It was in the teens when I walked my DD, with dogs, to school. I need...

Wow, Vee, it looks absolutely beautiful and tranquil. And warm! It's 24 degrees (F) here this morning, and I've got a Vinyasa class this a.m. We will be inside!

Waves to Vee, Jerry, Lori, Lori, RapidBreath, Marcy, and Belinda. Marcy, those new Mark Blanchard dvds look pretty awesome. I do so many live classes that I don't do many dvds (other than the ravi/ana ones), but I like the fact that the NFL guy is in one of them! Anway, after my...

Yoga clicks with me too. There are SO MANY varieties... vinyasa, astanga, kundalini, iyengar, kriplu, etc... each with a different intent and meaning. Plus, you have the differences inherent in the teaching styles of each instructor. I highly recommend live classes for anyone starting out...

Waves shoulder-fried arms to Vee, Jerry, Tami, Lori, Lori, Rapidbreath, and Belinda. I've been in a challenging-myself mood. So yesterday I did the first half of Christie's Step Heaven, followed by Ravi & Ana's Total Stretch. This a.m., I lost my mind and did back-to-back yoga classes: 1...

Sorry to hear you've been too busy to get in your yoga, Vee. Hopefully this week! Anyway, yesterday I went to my usual Vinyasa class. I usually go on Saturdays, but was so sore from the special Friday class that I took a day off. That class was the most intense yoga class I've ever taken...

Well, Lori, I just googled kapalabhati breathing and realized that it IS breath of fire. Have you ever tried the ravi/ana dvds? They incorporate alot of that.

Hope everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving. All I did yesterday was take a long walk with DH and the dogs, as I've got some kind of sinus thing, yuck. There's a special class at the Y today, given by a guy who's supposed to be really awesome, so I'm hoping to go... Lori, I do alot of...

Morning everyone! Yesterday was DH's birthday (carvel cake, yum!), but I did manage to squeeze in 40 mins of All Body Cardio (Twombly). I got this one in a trade and really enjoy it! Anyway, today I have my 1 1/2 hour iyengar-based yoga class. The instructor is brilliant, so I'm really...

Well, I had some pretty good DOMS in my back from yesterday's vinyasa class. We had a sub instructor and she led us through quite a vigorous workout! So this a.m. I just did 30 mins of a Christi step... and am hoping to squeeze in a ravi/ana (probably yoga bliss hips) before I wolf down Friday...
