I have just joined the yoga "generic" group. Perhaps we can keep each other motivated. A little cup of yoga in the morning is good for the soul and the body. I feel it keeps us young. Anyone with me?

    Perhaps close the door? I do it in the living room by the windows with the mat and sunlight, and hope the dogs dont come in. Its nice to know you will be doing it up in NY and I will be doing it down in eastern NC. :wink:

    It seems wherever I am, my retired hubby is trailing right behind :laugh:

    Not a problem ...... I'll just set the alarm & get in some yoga while my world is still quiet ......

    Peace !

    Hi Ladies,

    I found "Yoga With a View" on You Tube. I will join you for a yoga session each morning from Ohio. I've been wanting to get back to it on a regular basis, so this is a great motivator. Namaste. :)

    I have such a hard time motivating in the morning. I know that even a 15-20 minute session would be great to get the day started but I seem to stay in bed until the last possible moment, then I'm rushing to get ready and out the door. I would love to figure out how to overcome that!

    Thanks! We were at the Tetons a few summers back. Btw, I found Yoga With a View on Hulu, but it might be on You Tube, too.

    Isn't the Yoga with a View the one with the traffic noise in the background? I found it to be a bit distracting... though I like the girl and her voice. :)

    I did 20 minutes of a 30 minute TV program ...... this one was "Yoga: Basic Flow" from the Total Body Workout series ....... followed along for 20 minutes, and then pooped out, so went into Child's Pose & let the instructor's words float around me ...... very restful ..... will also go to the gym later for cardio & weights.

    JUST DO IT !

    I'm doing the ultimate yogi program. It's definitely getting me back into my yoga mindset again! You can follow my blog at yogalyssa.tumblr.com

    Count me in! I have a hard time in the mornings getting myself together, and I normally do my yoga sessions in the evening after work. But I just started today to just make myself get up and just do it. I started out at 10 minutes and I will try to slowly add in more time (meaning: get up earlier) and perhaps I will be able to even work up to a full hour in the a.m.!

    I have a 90 minute yoga class tonight ....... but doing 10 minutes of gentle yoga this morning got me stretched out & ready to deal with the day !

    Peace !

    The ones I have done are all in exotic locations. That cracks me up! Nothings says relaxation like traffic zooming by. Send me a link to that if you find it. Giggle.

    There are all different styles of yoga. Some are very slow and restful, others are fast and challenging. You might not like one style, but find another is perfect for you. If you have any interest, check out Hulu or You Tube. You will find loads of free yoga classes. I've enjoyed quite a few and it helps break up the monotony of a video, or if I can't make a class. Hope you find something you really enjoy.

    I'm doing between 10-20 minutes of yoga each morning ...... how are the rest of you managing ?

    There's a yoga class at the gym at 6 ...... not sure if I'll get out of work early enough for that ...... but can always do cardio & weights instead :drinker:

    HAGD !
