A lovely #yoga session this morning. Pondered the power of words to hurt and to help others. It's amazing how potent word choice can be.

Enjoyed a lovely yoga session today. Sad that #TerryPratchett has passed. It reminds us to treasure every day and say 'I love you.'

I had a wonderful #yoga session today. My spine feels lovely. I love spinal twists. They make my body "sing" with joy  . On to my to-dos!

Wow my schedule is just topsy-turvy right now. Had a wonderful #yoga session with bluebirds on the suet feeder. Lovely. Now to work!

A reader of my free yoga book asked if yoga should hurt. Here's my response.
Yoga should NOT hurt. Yoga is about gentle stretching and holding. If something hurts, you should stop. It could be you are pushing your body too hard for its current strengths. It could be something about the specific position simply does not work well given an injury or other situation with your body. There should never be pain. There should be gentle stretching.
For me, yoga is intensely pleasurable. It feels wonderful to press into the spinal twists – as if I’m receiving an expert massage. Lowering down from bridge, vertebrae by vertebrae, is sheer bliss. I’ve heard from many other yoga practitioners that they feel the same way. So that is something to look forward to, if you’re just getting started!

Enjoyed my #yoga session this morning - I actually did it at dawn! We'll see how long this new sleep cycle lasts, where I'm awake during daylight hours . If you're not doing a bit of yoga each day, I highly recommend it. It infuses you with energy and makes your body feel lovely.

Did you know yoga reduces cortisol (stress hormone) levels in your body - which can significantly reduce visceral fat levels?
Do some yoga today - even if it's just some gentle twists!
