yo yo yo YOGA

So on wednesday night we were going to try to swim again. I knew with the feedback from the chiropractor person at the health fair that my back was tight. So I thought maybe I would need to stretch some more. Somehow it all fell apart or came together that we didn't swim. And instead I did an hour of yoga. I worked through the flexibility video. It is a Living Arts video I have had for years. The warm up worked its way to back bends. OUCH - more to my ego than my back to come to terms with how inflexible I was. And some odd fear about bending backwards. Where did that come from. So I defibitely have some work cut out for me there. Ironically I can get some better back stretches when I am in the pool. Supported back bends. Then I moved into a vinyasa that was quite enjoyable although I am not sure I had much grace. And into front bends. Those went better. Although I have some thoughts on the front bends.... What to do when the fat of your thighs comes in contact with your chest long before you get your nose to your knee? Oh and let's not forget the pup that thinks your body stretching out on the flor is a perfect prop for resting his toys as he chews on them. It was fun. I look forward to doing it again.
