Long time since I bored you with my yoga asanas and posts. Well, here I am.
Yes, the evenings are becoming colder everyday. I don’t think I like winters anymore .. don’t even like moving at all. I just want to wrap myself in a cocoon of blankets. Once I am home after work, it’s so difficult to get on the mat. But then I watch all those amazing Yoginis on Instagram, in all sorts of mind-boggling poses, and I am like – what am I doing? That’s a motivation enough to get on the floor, do some backbends and arms balances. Sometimes I do it just to make myself feel better. 😀
My goal these days is to successfully do a Side Split. I don’t know why I didn’t accomplish that feat when I was younger. Every minute that I spend in a Straddle split position, I feel older and older. Now let me tell you, my splits are nothing like those of Gymnasts, haha not even close … it’s like when you slip on water and are desperately trying not to fall on your bum.
Cassey’s (Blogilates) Journey to Spilts guide is quite helpful (Seriously there’s answer to everything on the Internet except probably for the meaning of life … oh that’s 42 isn’t it?)
Anyway, in case you want to join this ‘journey to split’, hop in and let me know 😀
I do a few for a few days and ten fall off the Yoga wagon. Yo go girl, keep at it and you will be young forever.
hahaha I can so understand that. Summers were still better, but winters make it hard to get on the mat.
If I could do 5% of what you do, I would be thrilled.Planning to do a yoga course to learn the basics of yoga.
hahaha I am sure you are going to love it 😀

that's brilliant 😀 let me know how it goes 😀
This is really amazing! Your flexibility has me feeling enviable 🙂
How are you celebrating 21st June?
the solstice right!! nah nothing yet… what about you.
I do yoga over the weekends (formally) and try to do whatever I can daily.
For me, the inspiration is all within 😊
that's awesome 😀 I sometimes have to look for inspiration 😛
Raji, you are yourself one Yogini. Awesome. Splits? Not sure if I can ever get there 😛
haha I am trying hard… but seriously I wish I had done this when I was younger 🙂
I take a bow. It's also winter here and it's killing me. Need to be more active:)
hehehe winters are such a buzzkill 😛
Ah how I envy you the ability to do a hand stand. I haven't done anything more than a tadasan, an adhomukhashwanasan and some half hearted janu shirshasan……every night I go to bed with a resolve to do some yoga in the morning but when I get up in the morning I'm too stiff to do anything. So its just a few stretches and twists…
the cold is making me lazy… sometimes I too do just stretches 😀
Not a split. But I don't mind just a little more core strength. 🙂
I am trying to strengthen mine as well 😀
