    09/05 - checking in from the UK

    Did hatha yoga this morning, but broke with my normal sequence and just went where the mood took me.

    There was a lot of warrior asanas (is that the right term?) in there, as well as tree balances.

    Also meditated on the breath for 10
    Mins.

    Shanti Shanri Shanti (peace peace peace)

    Oh yes, I'm in. My home practice has long been ignored. My goal is at least 30 minutes 3 times a week of home practice and to find someplace for a class once a week. I discovered I had arthritis in my spine when I was 18, I am 47 now, if I establish a regular practice, I'm good, if not, snap, crackle pop,lol.

    Loving that this yoga challenge seems to have taken off!

    May goal: 450 minutes
    Week 1: 62 minutes

    Starting off a bit slow. It is much easier for me to stick to the schedule of yoga first thing during the week then it is on weekends.

    I skipped two days. My mind definitely felt the effects. Back to morning practice and meditation to start today, and it was a good one so far.

    Besides the balancing effects this has really been helping my hip flexors, low back and shoulders! I was able to straighten up in some balancing poses today too.

    Namaste, yoga people!

    I'm still here. Think I'm ready for a class rather than home practice. That's my goal for this week. So much is healing up! Thanks for the inspiration!

    Hi I'm new to my fitness pal and finding it great already. I started yoga a few weeks ago and I love it but slacked off for the last few days due to tiredness so I'm going to join this challenge to get me back up and running, my challenge is to do 30mins yoga twice a day everyday. Good luck to everyone else on this challenge

    Today I've been doing something right out of my comfort zone by attending a yoga chanting and meditation workshop, run by a Swami from a nearby yoga Ashram.

    Met some interesting concepts, looked at walking meditations, meditations on the breath, sung chants, Om/Aum and other ideas.

    Never really connected this sort of thing with my yoga practice, but I'm glad I went to understand more about the potential routes one can follow, if one chooses to.
