That photo... not to mention uttanasana. I'm working towards flexibility and strength with tae kwon do. I suspect yoga would be a wonderful complement to that work. Hopefully someday the budget will stretch and be flexible enough for both. Wow! That photo… not to mention uttanasana. I’m working towards flexibility and strength with tae kwon do.

I am just awful at it-years later and still can barely balance on one foot! You have been such an inspiration to me; whenever I am feeling like I just want to throw in the towel and give up all this healthy stuff, I head on over here and get recharged. Just wanted you to know that. ;) And thanks so much for posting the photo. I know what you mean about feeling a little shy to show off, but you look amazing-so healthy and strong, not to mention beautiful, and it is important for women to realize there is no 'perfect body' for yoga, or for any other fitness program. We come in all shape and sizes, and being in good health is what should matter most! I have such respect for you and your yoga skills!

I've never heard of cannoli pose before ~ is there a sanskrit name? It sounds delicious :) I love your earth day sequence!

Just with regular yoga practice I've found myself being less critical of my body. I haven't even tried to work on it but I think with strength in the body comes a strength in the mind you don't even expect. Now I know there is an actual term for calming the negative thoughts. Also thank you for the Earth Day practice I can't wait to add it to my practices. I love your yoga posts. Just with regular yoga practice I’ve found myself being less critical of my body.

I found it challenging to be still, especially toward the end, but felt so energized after the class. I will save your post to refer back to when I am a bit more experienced. I would also love to hear more about the yamas. Oh, what I would give to silence that voice, even for just a little while. Thank you for sharing this part of your journey.

I noticed that Kristin also linked to our teacher's blog, www.TheYamasandNiyamas.blogspot.com. Folks might want to know more about this. Our teacher, Deborah Adele, has written a book on the Yamas and Niyamas. It is insightful and easy to follow. Visit www.TheYamasandNiyamas.com for more information. Thanks for starting the discussion. Sara Hi Lolly – I also found your link from the NamastefromDuluth.blogspot.com.
