    The corpse pose, I love this one. It last a long time and if done correctly, you are totally chill at completion.

    It is really balance moreso than strength. You just squat and put your knees on your arms and start leaning forward until your feet come off the ground. It is easier than it looks!

    And wrist that don't hurt when weighted. I cringe at the thought of doing this. I've broken my wrist a few times over the years, they don't bend like they use to. Very impressive that you can do this one.

    If you like this one, try the corpse pose. It kinda the reverse.

  9. Do you do yoga alone or go to class?

    I'll go to a class every once in a while but prefer to do it alone. I started out doing it alone and learning one pose at a time and holding the pose for a minute or so, whereas most classes do yoga flows and move quickly through poses - I dont really find the flows as meditative and relaxing

    I learned from a book of yoga poses but I do the youtube videos sometimes.

    I've also been doing pilates from youtube videos lately too. Pilates are really hard! :sweatsmile:
    I would like to try barre sometime too

    well then i'll just fall back to sleep. pulling my legs up under me like that is basically step one toward climbing out of bed.

    i tried yoga for a couple months at one point using one of those channels. i don't know if the instructor wasn't good or if yoga just wasn't for me, but i didn't notice any benefits from it and i actually seemed to lose strength over that period. but i stuck with it for a while because the instructor was incredibly hot.

    That's the point, the last part of yoga is to totally relax........every cell, every muscle, every bone in your body. I've come close to nodding at the end of a few classes.
