I also do Yoga for the stress relieve. I always feel mentally better after doing the yoga. I feel my mental condition is improved and I am going on the way to get rid the stress and depression.

I have also fallen out of the habit of doing my yoga, which is quite sad. I can feel the aches in my neck and back as a result.
So I will aim to get back into my just-waking-up yoga sessions, even if they are just short ones. My body needs it!
What types of yoga are you guys doing as we head into autumn?

I am installing a new graphics card and as soon as this is set I'm heading out onto my back porch to do some yoga! The sun is shining, the dragonflies are flitting, and it's a lovely day to get some yoga in.
Will you be doing yoga today?

The yoga session was lovely! Autumn is definitely here, though - it was a little crisp. I'm enjoying some Chanakara Guanabana tea now to warm back up.

It's funny how quickly time can flit by when life becomes busy. I would think that I "just" did yoga, but clearly it was a while ago. It has gotten really rainy here, and the upstairs spare bedroom got filled with random stuff.
I am doing my focused best to clear out "stuff" from rooms so I can use them again for things like yoga. I have made some progress with that spare bedroom but it still has random stuff in it. Time to focus more strongly on getting rid of stuff.
Still, right now I will do ten minutes of yoga, while I wait for the mailing process to finish so I can do my meditation.

OK, that was lovely. Some child's pose, cat-cow, warrior pose, and other things. It didn't take much time and I definitely feel much better overall. It goes to show how even small blocks of time can be used well.

I'm slowly getting my life back into a more gentle schedule. I was able to do yoga in the morning three times this week. Even a half hour helps me feel much better, and the hamstrings are starting to stretch out.
I highly recommend finding little nooks and crannies to get yoga into your world!
Here is my current routine. I do "both sides" where appropriate (i.e. tree pose on right leg, then on left leg).
* twists (arm flapping on side) * moon pose * tree pose * sun salutations * warrior pose 2 * seated twist * cat-cow (10x) * rolling cat-cow * bridge * hurdler's stretch * lying down twist * savasana
I think that's it! Plus I work in some neck stretches.
