I just finished my “Gentle Yoga” for the day. I managed to do the new section for Lower Back today, followed by the sections on Head, Neck and Shoulders (and jaw); and then “Joints.”
I am very relaxed right now. I particularly need the section on lower back because mine is stiff and tense. The most trouble I have with the whole DVD so far is trying to relax at the end of each section on my back. I spend a long time trying to push my lower back down to the floor, trying to get the tension to ease up so that I can fully relax. It really shows I need what I’m doing.
The other difficult thing is getting UP after each section! :0)
I’m very happy I bought this 2 DVD set called, “Gentle Yoga.” It is meant for people just like me – over 60, sedentary, and have never done any yoga before. The teacher is quite pleasant, explains what she’s doing and why, and gives you time to follow. She’s pleasant without being effusively pert and violently happy – a thing I really like.
Tomorrow I’ll try to do the first section on the 2nd DVD. My goal will to be to do at least one section a day, building to doing one DVD one day and the other DVD the next.

This is some of the best, as you can do to your body and mind, Linda π
Just go on – you can do it.

I’m very encouraged so far, Irene. I was happy that I was able to do the whole 1st DVD yesterday. I’ll probably try the first section in the 2nd DVD tomorrow. I really need the good stretches, deep breathing into the poses, and opportunity to increase balance and strength. Did you start your new class yet? If so, are you happy with it?

No, not yet. I should have started tomorrow, but it is holiday here, so all closed, but Thursdag then. Should be Tuesday and Thursday afternoons.
