Shoulders engaged, yes please

Day 80/20 to go

Sunday the 27th

In the world of the internet, I like to remain anonymous.

Imagine my suprise when I saw a RSS feed of my yoga

rantings on my Plaxo service! I guess I kill the plaxo service.

The last place I would want anything this personal.

Sunday class mat to mat 33 people. One person too many.

One man stood still looking for a spot for his mat before class time.

He told me, his plan to get mat space was to 'Look Awkward' until someone moved.

Another name for a yoga classmate is born - Awkward Man. Good name!

Along with the other BYC Legionaires: Bendy Birl, Jet Engine Boy, Squiggly Girl, Giggly Guy and yours truley, The Damage has been Done Girl.

How do people named Nick get nicknames?

Yoga tip of the day: DarniwishIhadknownitwasroshhashanah. Separate standing forehead to knee pose - aka -Dandayamana Bihktapdada Janushirasana

If you cannot put your forehead to your knees and your hands in a steeple ahead of your feet on the ground, at least make sure that your arms are fully extended in front of you, shoulders fully engaged, elbows locked.

Parking ala Steve McQueen

Bumper car parking. Saw a spot. Pulled into a driveway. Backed out, pulled parallel to the car in front of the spot, started backing up and bang! Where did that BMW come from? Walked out looked at driver, also out of his car and asked " Are you alright?" Looked at both cars and noted, "Your car seems fine. I guess you didn't notice we were parking."

A young, just post baby, with blue eyes, blond hair and puca shell necklace (surfer boy.... do you want to be a soldier boy... ) around his neck glared at me. He looked as if he wished he had one more round in his M-16 . Back to the car waited for him to move. And waited. And waited. When he finally started his car and drove away I called out, "We are fine, thanks."

Mat to mat, crowded 8:30 am class that makes it humid. The bumper car incident kept floating in my head. Oh the humanity.....Tip of the day. If it does not bring you joy, let it go.

Yoga Pose hint: Pavanamuktasana Wind removing pose Third part:see your hip joints releasing, your abdominal muscles pulling on your lower spine to flatten your entire spine to the floor.
