When the yoga studio where I practice posted on Facebook a 24-second video of me doing a pose, many people were entertained. Hopefully in a good way.
Here, dear blog friends, I share it with you.
This studio hosts a free class every second Saturday of every month. Ask any studio near you if they offer great introductory deals. Chances are, they do!

Happiness Between Tails blog/podcast speaks to and from the heart. It connects lovers — of pets, authors, reading — and of my still-unreleased novels. “Flamenco + the Sitting Cat” and “Tango + the Sitting Cat,” are my love letters to all who fear they're too odd, too damaged, too old, too whatever to find love and happiness with or without a partner.

As Andrea says, that is impressive, Daal. I don’t think either of my legs has been that high off the ground since the time I fell off my bicycle. There is no way I’d be able to copy you without a lot of practice first.
I tried it yesterday…the balance thing, still got it! The leg that goes up, didn’t manage to stretch it completely…but hey, at almost 45 I am happy, without practice I already got that far…definitely going to put something similar on my to-do list for this year…Although tae-bo (Billy Blanks) is more my style of getting my body and mind into a healthy shape 😉
Wow! That puts my attempts at yoga to shame…very impressive and I can see the determination and concentration in your eyes. Well done on being featured and great to see you in action!

That’s awesome! When did you start doing yoga? I started in 2015, but haven’t been keeping up with it lately, unfortunately.

Many congrats!
BB is great, how he sweats & puts his all into it! I try to alternate them.
Yoga always works best for me when I go slow, focus, & only think about doing my best for today/not setting records…
Glad we are both bound for a limber, strong 2017 🙂
