(And I too ha...Yes, Cheri, I have ideas about that. (And I too have never taken a yoga class. Why are they so darn expensive????) I recommend a book by Rodney Yee called Moving Toward Balance. I didn't find that I could do his entire recommended workouts each day--it took more time than I had--but it's a great resource for learning the poses. <br /><br />Then I bought a set of dvds from BYU called "Total Body Workout." It's designed to be the perfect daily workout schedule and includes 7 dvds--5 workouts each--to be done over 7 weeks. Three of the five workouts each week are yoga workouts (the other two are various strength and cardio workouts). I like to walk/run and so I don't do the alternate workouts, but I enjoy the yoga, and feel they are very well-cued and adaptable for all levels. You're welcome to borrow a couple of the dvds, if you like.<br /><br />website: http://creativeworks.byu.edu/Catalog/ViewItem.aspx?item=KB250<br /><br /><br />Emily M. loves to do audio workouts--she buys podcasts and follows them. That wouldn't really work, I imagine, if you weren't already familiar with the poses and still require a visual example.<br /><br />The poetry class is the same thing I did before--a visiting prof. comes to Westminster to teach, and they invite community members to attend an evening class with some of the registered students. I had a great leap in progress last time I did this.Darlene Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879790457149136785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23774671.post-46368247710658897912011-01-03T12:45:16.488-08:002011-01-03T12:45:16.488-08:00I'd like to hear more about your poetry class-...I'd like to hear more about your poetry class--where, when, who. <br /><br />And I have a question about yoga: I've always liked the idea of yoga, but I don't have time/money to attend a class, so a few years ago I tried a couple DVDs that said they were for beginners, but they still made me feel like I'm old and stiff. I didn't think even with practice I could ever really do the poses. <br /><br />Here and there I've come across yoga poses that were simple, relaxing, focusing, and energizing--and realistic. I would love to learn more. Do you know of an at-home resource (book or DVD) for yoga routines that regular people can successfully do?Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12002892067236774184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23774671.post-21592026187684158192011-01-02T22:14:58.460-08:002011-01-02T22:14:58.460-08:00I love my yoga class too!

I have a few other goals, but this goal will help me accomplish them and stay mentally healthy so that's what I'm working on.<br /><br />I think staying positive is a good goal. I will keep that in mind!FoxyJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17950095008611661757noreply@blogger.com
