Today I also took out my hearing aids so I couldn't here the bleep on my laptop and vibration of my phone on the desk and Ozzy ate my toes

Garfield Jan 2021 10:39am, 11 Jan 2021 14,922 posts	0 Garfield Hero pose (kneeling)...until the knees and quads don't feel so tight, then graduate to reclined hero pose once hero pose no longer challenges the quads. Have a bolster to lie back on as you ease yourself down. You may need additional back support so a blanket over the bolster to gradually work on going backwards.

GimmeMedals Jan 2021 11:20am, 11 Jan 2021 19,394 posts	0 GimmeMedals I've not done YWA for a few days. Initially because of getting up before Mr GM and I do it in the bedroom. But then it was more about avoiding it because it was CORE day and I really don't have any core strength to speak of. OTOH, I didn't want to just miss day out, so I've not yoga'd since Day 5. Until this morning. I put it on and did Day 6 and it wasn't as bad as I feared. I have to admit to having dropped Simba off the cliff a few times and my boat sank, but I could do more than I expected. I'm looking forward to day 7 now

I found it really difficult and uncomfortable so I guess I was doing something right! I will definitely revisit that in order to progress.
