this is warrior pose:
it is my favorite.
my next favorite is lion…envigorating, makes me feel like I could bite the head off the world, but in a good way.
it’s been an uphill yogic battle today. due to the two year old vomitron, I couldn’t make it to 9am yoga. after that ordeal, I figured I’d just do a tape but my two favorites are missing (likely snarfed by said vomitron to make a fort, or seat stuffed animals). the remaining tape is for preggos, and I didn’t much like it when I was pregnant.
the man is working from home, so I can’t put the audio one on. I guess I’ll have to wing it, which I can do just fine, but I hate having to choose my own poses, the length and the lineup. it takes too much thought, takes away from the trance-mind that I enjoy. oh well. this is why I own an enya cd. I know that sounds wonky…why couldn’t I just play the rodney yee cd then? well, that would distract the man (player in the office), whereas enya will just compromise his productivity and put him to sleep.
don’t misunderstand me, I love enya…but it’s not corporate monkey music.
the vomitron is asleep facefirst on the carpet…gotta go make hay while the sun shines.

Sounds like you’ve got it figured out!
hahaha, that last line is great. you rule the world.
cool we both have vomit machine 2 year olds and the warrior is my favorite Iyengar pose too.
heh…vomitron, i don’t think i’ll ever get tired of that. i’m actually excited for my next stomach virus now, just so i can refer to myself as such.
Perhaps you could write out the workout routine first and have it on a sheet of paper close by so you could see what was going to be next. That way you wouldn’t compromise that wonderful state of mind Yoga brings on when we practice it.
that’s a really good idea, thanks James! I also decided that thelonious monk with john coltraine was a better album for me to move to.
I recall this one time when my old Yoga teacher, Judy, forgot the CD she normally played at class, so she popped in one that she had not yet played and wanted to try out. It was something like “African Music: A Tribute” or something to that effect. So anyway, we were all in this one pose (can’t remember which
) and it took a considerable amount of concentration, when the calm sounds of African drums turned into the sounds of elephants wailing. Everyone in the class (including Judy) fell over, and we all died laughing! Gotta love your random animal noises.

loreena mckennit – samhain nights. yoga to that is the best
oooooo, I actually have that somewhere!
someday i will try yoga again. i liked it right up to the point where i had to lay flat on my face, on top of my lactating boobies. oh, the humanity.
I like yoga, when I do it… which isnt very often. I’m very lazy. I like working out, and go all out when I do, but it takes zero thought, concentration. and I’m not all that good with being one with the universe. ha ha.
yogalicious, oh nummy one.
