My yoga room


This is used to be our storage room. A year ago, it was carpeted and full of stuff (floor to ceiling) that we rarely if ever used. So, after a small flood last year, we donated everything, ripped out the carpet, laid new bamboo floor, painted the walls, and it has become my new yoga room/guest room. I love it as it's my personal space. Something I believe every couple should have.

I made it through...

The pain on left side has finally decided to say farewell. Thank god as I was really becoming an unhappy person; I would even go so far as saying slightly depressed. I kept thinking about my dad who lived with so much physical pain for most of his life and never complained; seriously never. I don't know how he did it, he was an amazing man. So with over a month of little to no yoga practice I thought it would take me awhile to get my flexibility and flow back. I'm more strong than flexible; ski… Continue

Sunday's practice & Monday's plan

I've decided basically to go back to January's blog practice, do what I can, just do something every day. So, Sunday, I finally managed to practice just after 6pm. 5 A's, 3 B's with time in between to try and stretch that painful part that moves around my lower back, to my rear and down and around my leg. Seriously, this pain likes to move around. Then I went straight to backbends, did five long ones. Really focused pressing into the ground so not to feel the pain. Only felt pain when coming ou… Continue

airplane yoga

I'll be boarding the first of two legs to Bangalore in just under an hour. My flight was delayed two hours, I was really bummed. I didn't check the flight before leaving home (something I normally do); instead I was running around last minute packing, etc. DD drove like a maniac (upon my request) to the airport, he drops me off and as I'm in line to check buggage there it is. Flight delayed until 2:45, current time 11:45. I was so bummed, my sweety doesn't have a cell phone so I couldn't call h… Continue

3 days - no practice

UGH - I so dislike this feeling. The last three days have been all about work - getting ready for my trip. I leave tomorrow for India - Bangalore. While I'm excited to finally visit India I'm bummed because I don't have time to make it down to Mysore. And I'll be so close! Plus my darn butt pain just isn't getting any better. Yuck, I sound like a pathetic whiner. I better stop now. I am packing my yoga mat and believe I will plan on practicing daily. It may not be my full practice but I will do… Continue

back again

It's been a long time since my last post. Life, work, yoga. That's basically been my life. Nothing major to report Well, except a major pain in the butt I've been experiencing for the past few weeks. Seriously, it's a pain in my butt that moves around. Sometimes it's my lower back, sometimes my beg, and sometimes my left cheek. I really don't know how I got it, except to say it happened slowly over time. It got to the point where I cant practice early in the morning without intense, and I mean… Continue

I love your yoga room. When I went through my divorce 3 years ago and bought my own place, I converted the 3rd bedroom into a yoga room. It is so nice to have a dedicated space just for yoga.

What a wonderful practice space!

Liz, I think you have been outstanding! Practicing Yoga EVERY day is not as important as the energy you have put into EVERYTHING! You are amazing!

Liz, You are to be admired for sticking to your schedule - even if it is only 30 min. a day. Today was the first day I didn't do any at all. I had to drive my hubby about 100 mi. to La Mesa, CA for a Dr. appt. - and return back to El Centro after the appointment. Weather both ways was awful - lots of rain and fog and I hate to drive over mountains in that kind of weather. I ought to have done Yoga when I returned home, but felt too bushed. I'll be back "in the groove" tomorrow.
I read your blog and get all excited about what I am "going to do"!

Thanks for your note Kathleen!

I'm really enjoying your blog as well. It's fun to read about your yoga journey, along with your daughters too.

I love reading your blog, Liz - and hope to get down and do some blogging about my efforts.

Wow! You have a yoga room? I'm impressed. I would love to hear more about it.
