I was not sure this morning if I was going to be able to make it through a Kundlini class, I’m still very much getting over this cold. So of course, once we start our warm up, Elizabeth says, it’s going to be a very vigorous class! I don’t remember the exact name of the… [Read more…]

I came down with a pretty terrible cold yesterday and didn’t have the energy or desire to bring myself to the mat. Today, however, while still feeling week, I felt I had energy I needed to burn off to help my body stay strong. I started off with a meditation I remember Yogi Bhajan teaching… [Read more…]

This morning I was a little rushed and coming off of some early morning baby duties, but still took some time to do my basic salutation and traingle set. So glad I did.

When we start with who knows how many minutes of shaking like an earthquake you know it’s going to be an intense class. And it was.

I was inspired yesterday to work on some more hatha style yoga. While working through a few asanas this morning I ended up going into headstand, Salamba Sirsasana. I wrote recently about how Yogi Bhajan recommends doing the Sat Nam kriya a few minutes a day if you can do nothing else. I remember back to… [Read more…]

Since getting into my work from home routine at Blackboard I have been doing more yoga at home and less working out at the gym. Today I was back at the gym so I didn’t really do any yoga. I did however do the Rainbow Bridge Meditation since it’s a Silio day on the 13 moon… [Read more…]

I usually don’t have much time for yoga before heading off for DC Metro Church on Sundays, but I did take time this morning to do a few minutes of the Sat Nam Kriya and spinal flex, since Yogi Bhajan said these were both exercises we should try to do everyday. What I missed was… [Read more…]

I got to this morning’s yoga class a few minutes late, so after tuning in I jumped into the spinal flex and off we went. I don’t know the name or focus of the set, but I remember doing crows pose, some double leg lifts, should stand with moving feet to the ground and back,… [Read more…]
