Have you ever thought you were in pretty good shape only to discover that no.. no you're not. You're in horrible shape. I can lift bags of feed, workout on the elliptical for hours, run through fields after tiny humans, run up the stairs at work when I'm late for a meeting.. in heels, and yeah.. I'm overweight but I'm not a slouch. I have muscles.. I just hide them well.
At least that's what I thought. Then a friend sent me the link to kilted yoga and I was impressed. Not just by the guys in the kilts which is why she sent it to me but by the ability to twist yourself into a pretzel and then support it all with one hand. That is seriously impressive! And kinda hot when a guy in a kilt does it. Heck a guy not in a kilt doing that would probably be equally as hot.. just sayin. Not that I want to be a guy in a kilt but I did think it would be a nice to have a someday maybe goal to be able to do that myself.. minus the kilt but just as high on the fitness level.
Then I talked to myself, like I seem to do more and more these days, and convinced myself that I should totally check out yoga. It could help with that whole trying to find peace thing. I could switch up my elliptical, milking cows, exercise bike routine. I could love it. I got some suggestions... and quickly discovered....
I have the flexibility of a large stick.
So yes.. I think yoga will be a good thing for me. Minus the kilt.. unless of course I can find my own personal kilt wearing yoga teacher that lets me workout in sweats and a t-shirt that's so old it's a wonder it stays in one piece. I just have to find a place and a time I can do this without tiny humans crawling under me and giant furry dogs sitting on me. One of them farted but I'm not sure which. I suspected the boxer but he just looked pathetic and gave me puppy eyes.

I look forward to reading your posts so much! Yoga and me never have been able to make friends. I think it laughs at me behind my back!

I started yoga when I was hand milking 3 cows. I did it because I had to be flexible to do that little chore. I've been in love with it every since. Luckily my first instructor was a demon for form and balance and I learned so much from her. No kilt yoga instructors, but I would have welcomed that! Oh! BTW...if you take lessons, be sure not to eat gas producing food...otherwise YOU could be the one looking pathetic with puppy eyes.

there's a free app called "down dog" it has a cute white doggy face on the icon. it is a great yoga app so you can start out at home anytime without feeling pressured from gym classes. you can set length of time, difficulty levels and there's narration and explanations of what to do. Can't beat free!

wow. I read your posts to my 15 year old daughter and she says you're her spirit animal....whatever that means......We do yoga. started it beginning January with a dvd. 30 mins 5 times a week. Usually before tea. It's funny when one of you fart or you're in a position that makes you giggle. Great bonding time with my 15 year old........and I'm much more flexible after only 8 weeks. I'd rather be watching a bloke in a kilt though and not Jillian Michaels. No undies.......yeah.....and a furry sporran.......oh yeah!!!!

I once downloaded a yoga app. I used it once..... It was a bit fast paced for someone with my build and knees. The upshot was that when I was standing, I should have been kneeling and vice versa. I ended up laying on the floor laughing...... If laughing is Yoga, I did well.

gingercaloriecounter - I've never been called a spirit animal before. I will ask my 13 yr old daughter to explain what your 15 yr old daughter said lol

I tried tai-chi once and found I wasn't only non flexible but I can't walk with one foot in front of the other too. I gave it up and went back to sit and get fit.
