Yoga Starts Monday the 8th!!!

We are ready to start! Come join in the fun of our Yoga Group. Starting again on Monday the 8th at 5:15 pm.

See you there!!

No, I haven't forgotten......

Just a little note to let you all know that I haven't forgotten about you.

The Lone Elm Community Building has been so dang cold that I just don't think we could even relax and enjoy ourselves.

I'm hoping to get started again within a few weeks. I'm shooting for around the first of March. Keep checking back for the exact date.

Until then...............

No Yoga Thursday............

We are going to cancel Yoga for Thursday in honor of the Worlds Fair (Kincaid Fair). Next gathering will be Monday the 5th.

See ya at the Fair.

Change in Yoga Plans.............

With summer upon us, I decided it is time to make a decision about the days and times that we will be having Yoga. After much debate (and loss of sleep) I have decided to put a poll up on this site to decide which would work best for the majority.

Please select the two days that will work best for you. I'll check the poll on Monday the 25th and let you know that night the outcome.

Thanks!

Saturday

As you have noticed, I'm sure. I do have the Blog updated so that a new Yoga Pose will be on here each day. I'm going to try to start using some of the poses when we meet. Plus, I have a couple of cute pictures of you guys added too!

We need to start thinking about how we want to handle the summer months. I know I will be busy during June with baseball games, but other than that I am open. Someone mentioned meeting on Sunday evenings through the ball season. I hate to only meet one day per week, but I guess it would be better than none. That would work for me, but I'm game for whatever. Just think about it. I am open to suggestions. I'm also more than willing to keep the days the same if someone else is willing to be the lead when I can't make it. I can make you a detailed list of the moves.

I'm off to clean house!

Yoga Journal - Happy Baby Pose

Ok, so I'm finally getting back into the swing after vacation. I'm really going to try to get some poses posted up here for us. Today I'm posting the Happy Baby Pose. It is said to calm your brain and relieve stress and fatigue.

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!

Wow. All I can say is Thank You. I came home today to find the best surprise.....a sweet card and 1 hour massage gift certificate from you Yoga Ladies instead of the standard old......bills in the mail that I usually find when I get home.

I will say one thing, you know the way to my heart...........massage is the magic word!!

Thanks again and I'll see you tomorrow.

I'm Outta Here.....

Just a quick update. I'll be out-of-town from March 13th - March 19th. Emily will lead yoga on Monday the 16th and Kathy will lead on Thursday the 19th.

Have fun and enjoy your Spring Break too.

See you all on the 23rd.

Learning About Our Poses

Hey all. I am going to attempt to start posting a Yoga move each week. It will be one of the moves we are doing and it will explain the proper way in which we "should" be doing it. This will give us all a chance to learn a bit more about Yoga as we go.

Here is a link to a post from the Yoga Journal Site and it explain the Downward-Facing Dog. Below the video portion you will find: Anatomical Focus, Therapeutic, Etc. Be sure to check out these tabs. This is where you can learn what muscles you are building and what the pose is doing for you otherwise.

Enjoy.... and.........sign in and leave some comments for me! :)

Thursday in Yoga

Hey ladies. Just wanted to say keep up the good work. I hope everyone is enjoying getting together for Yoga.

Keep your fingers crossed that the heat isn't on when we get there tomorrow. I thought I was going to have a heat stroke before we got done the other night. Also, I'll try to get the CD on repeat the CD instead of repeat the song. Oops, sorry about that. Remember what I said in the beginning............you're getting what you are paying me for.........NOTHING!!!

See you tomorrow and I promise we won't do the chair pose!

Later, Andrea

Thanks for Coming.....

Hope everyone had a good time last night, relaxed and isn't too sore today. My back is a bit sore, but I think I hurt myself over the weekend doing Wii Baseball. I will lay off of that for awhile and see how I do.

So, the official time is now 5:15 - 6:15. I hope that this will give everyone a bit more time to get from work to Lone Elm.

If you didn't come on Monday, but you are still interested in coming...........just show up. You can start and stop doing this at any time.

Any questions????

See ya Thursday.

Andrea

See You Tomorrow....

Hey Ladies..... I've been doing a little bit of work to get things all figured out for tomorrow night. I'm really excited for us to get started. I just hope you aren't disappointed by my ability to lead the group!

So............see everyone at 5:00. All you need to bring is:

#1) Yourself

#2) Your mat or a rug

#3) Ten dollars

#4) All of your stress

Later, Andrea

The Plan for Now......

As it stands right now. We will be getting together on Monday and Thursday nights from 5:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the Lone Elm Community Building. If this time doesn't work for the majority, then we can change the time (see the poll at the bottom of this page). However, we need to do it early enough that we can be out of the building before the 4-H or the VFW would need it.

The initial cost is going to be $10 per person (one-time cost) and this will go to pay the building rent. By each of us paying $10 this should pay our rent for at least a couple of months. When I run out of money for rent, I will let everyone know and at that time we can decide if we want to continue to get together. The Lone Elm Township has agreed to give us a reduced rate on the building in order for us to be able to afford to use it. That being said, there could be occasions when someone who is paying FULL PRICE may need the building on our night. If this happens, we will have to change our time or cancel for the evening.

I plan to use this Blog Site to keep everyone posted on any changes in scheduling. Please save this site and check on it regularly to keep up on any changes. This will take the pressure off of me. By doing this I won't have to make phone calls, etc. Please feel free to contact me, Emily or mom with any questions. My home number is: 620-852-3160 and my cell number is: 620-363-0340.

Please post on here if you have any questions and it might be a good way for us to all stay in touch.

If you are concerned about the difficulty of this, don't be........the age range of our Iola class is anywhere from 18 - 85. You CAN do it.

Now for the good stuff. The first meeting is set for Monday, February 16th at 5:00. If you are SURE you want to do this, then you will want to bring a yoga mat. If you just want to try it out for awhile, you could bring a rug to use for a couple of sessions. I have an extra mat and I would be glad to bring it for someone to try, just let me know. You will most likely want to do your Yoga barefooted or wearing socks that have grippies (not sure that is a word) on the bottom.

At the first meeting, we will decide for sure about our next meeting. I am paid up in Iola through the end of the month and I would like to finish that out. Sorry...

The goal of this whole thing it to gain flexibility and strength while we learn to RELAX.

It is OK if you can only make it to one meeting a week. One night of relaxing is better than nothing, right?

Ok, so that is all I can think of for now.
