    Yesterday i did my own yoga practice. Just my mat and me. No music or anything. I enjoyed the quiet after a busy day and by the end my mind had slowed down as well as my body. I think i'm going to focus on yoga only this week. Phoenix: WOO-HOO! Congrats on hitting another milestone! Great job...

    Actually, most of us on our check-in got back into the swing of things using the Basic step DVD. We all found that it got boring pretty quick but you also have body fusion and the add-ons so it's a good DVD to have for when you want a shorter or "easier" workout. Both basic step and body fusion...

    I'm almost completely pain free so i'm planning on doing yoga this evening.:D I've been doing gentle stretching and rubbing tiger balm into my leg and it feels almost 100% so i'm ready for a full yoga practice today. Bridget: I think once you reach 100 posts you will be a "Catheite" so keep...

    I can totally relate! I don't have many friends that are interested in working out either. That's why checking in here is so helpful. It's motivating to be around people who understand and share similar interests. I go through ups and downs working out. I started again in April after a period of...

    kudalini yoga

    Hi Diane57, I'm not familiar with Ravi and Ana's teachings. In my experience, none of my yoga teachers have ever said that kundalini is reserved for the select few or discouraged anyone from advanced yoga practices. For anyone interested in doing intense sadhana, there was a lot of support and...

    kudalini yoga

    Hermia, Kundalini energy is very powerful. When that energy starts to move it can be very overwhelming or even frightening if one doesn't know what's happening. Of course, as with all aspects of yoga practice, everyone will not have the same experience. Your environment, what you are eating, and...

    Eat, Pray, Love- can't wait to see it!

    I read the book a few years ago and saw the movie last week. The book was better than the movie, but i always think the book is better than the movie. It's not the best book i've ever read but it was an easy read and I can relate to her experiences in the Ashram as i have spent two months in...

    kudalini yoga

    I do not practice "Kundalini yoga" but based on the above descriptions it just seems like a well balanced yoga practice. I tend to be more of a traditionalist when it comes to yoga. I believe that proper relaxation, proper breathing, proper exercise, proper diet, and positive thinking &...

    Piercing and exercise?

    I had my belly button pierced 15 years ago (still have it!) and i had no problems doing any of my regular activities when it was healing. It didn't take long to heal but i guess everyone is different since i've heard of others having issues. If you can find it, there is a healing balm called...
