I like to think about things. I also like to question things – sometimes just for the sake of it.
I nerd myself into some things. Other things I am extremely uninterested in.
I have also become a climate change aunt, despite mine so far, in the context, young age.
On this blog you can read most of what fits in my world of thought. From social criticism to beauty 40+ to embarrassing stories to…
Welcome! 🙂
In other words, can you imagine? Now I have been practicing yoga every day for just over two months. Every day. That's tamejfan not wise. I had never thought of that myself. I'm insanely impressed with myself, I have to admit. Not only that. It's moving forward, in addition.
The first weeks I did super short workouts – most of all 15 minutes long, but usually maybe 5 – 7 minutes. Mostly to get into the habit of actually doing it. But even the little things had results. Not huge – of course, but still.
But after maybe two weeks I wanted to challenge myself a little more, so I started doing one actually, right pass. Not far – approximately 23 minutes or so, but an actual passport. Beginner pass in absurdum, but still. And maybe a week or two after that, I switched to another beginner session – but with approx 45 minutes. The workout has worked incredibly well for me, because it goes slowly, is extremely rich in information on how, what and why one does si or so. I'm really super fond of Yoga with Adriene.
That passport is what I've been doing for quite some time now. Every once in a while I alternate it with a couple of shorter films that focus on a single exercise at a time – intensive learning of positions, which is totally fucking fucking fantastic.
But under someone week, I have started thinking about whether I should change my passport. For several weeks I have been adding positions to the video I followed, to not feel that I “must / need” stand and wait while she explains and shows and I have already done my part. I really do not mind – I think I've got one “need” workouts that work well for me, but it will be the same thing every day. And that was the thing about exchanging pleasure…
But so it is I'm a little lazy. I know this passport. I have found my own rhythm in it, I have added exercises I like to complete, and so on. Plus that if I am going to change my passport, I have to sit down and look for something I think can work. Shitty, south. 😀
But I did it actually just recently. I've put together a whole bunch of videos with Adriene – some more advanced, which I do not think I can handle yet, some simpler but still do not feel like they would work right now… And so I found another beginner session I will give myself later today, I think. I quickly flushed through it, and while on the one hand it contains about or at least similar exercises as what I already do, it differs and has some other positions that are not in what I do now.
I do not think that I'm completely ready for it yet, but I think I will eventually embark on one of her 30-day challenges. But before I do that, I need to learn a little more positions – preferably so that I am somewhat stable in them. Balance positions, for example, I am poor at. I have a terribly bad balance. 😀
The only me is a little thoughtful about right now is not yoga itself, but whether I will fix this in the summer when my apartment tends to be up 30 degrees warm – and I belong to the group of people who go into survival mode only, at all temperatures that pass 22 (a slight exaggeration, but not far from the truth – all over 18 is too hot).
Otherwise noticeable the results mostly on the fact that I no longer have chronic pain in the neck / shoulders / back, and that I have become stronger and more agile (note that everything is relative – I'm still inflexible like a half - dead elephant). I have noticed that one of my bras:is sitting a little differently, and the same goes for at least a pair of my pants – so result, I get it, clearly. ♥
But I have to after all, admit that it feels damn fun when what I do, gives results. Especially when I start to feel that it's time to move on. Yoga is advancing, for real! =)
