Tonight was pretty cool and crisp with the sunshine out. I wore my spring jacket and my sweatshirt. My yoga instructor's daughter had to go to the doctor today--so our sub was the one who taught the intermediate class before my class. He had subbed before. I think the last thing I had him for sub was a year ago. As for the class itself, it was average-sized. He taught everything in a sequential flow for our regular routine. We also did some new poses: 2 Cow-Ears Poses 3 Crescent Moon Poses 2 Half Moon Poses (1x/side) 2 Seated Water Lotus Poses (1x/side) 2 Balance on Brick Poses 1 Star Pose 2 V-Sit Poses 2 V-Sit Poses (w/leg raises) 2 1-armed Downward Dog 2 Warrior Goddess Poses 1 Reverse Table Pose 1 Bow Pose I think that's what I can remember. I might pass on yoga on Friday night, since the forecast is 80% chance of t-storms. So we'll see by Friday at 3 PM if it changed.

Looks like a good workout. I don't know anything about yoga and find the names of those poses interesting.

They are interesting when you get used to them. Yoga can be good for you. It was a good one.

Hi Kristen! I haven't spoken to you in a while. I want to try yoga. Do you feel it has changed your life? If so, how?

@KristenH Great to hear from you. It might help with anxiety as well. Still with hubpages and swagbucks. How is Upwork? I heard good things about Amazon mechanical turk

@simpleliving3251120 Same here Amy. Yes indeed. Good to know. No luck with niches lately--no idea when my Arizona hub will be published via the niche. I did ask last week and Karla said, no idea. Haven't written any new hubs lately, since I'm busy with Upwork. I'm still with SB and ID and Checkout 51. Upwork is going well. Made $500+ with my current client for hourly work. I've heard about MTurk---not see if it's for me.

Amy, long time to hear. I miss you, my friend. I'm still with HP these days. Yes, yoga has helped me with my back pain and sleep better too. Plus it also helped me reconnect me with my muse via meditation. Go for it.

@KristenH I tried some yoga moves I saw in a magazine and was surprised that I could do them.

It has really cooled down here also. It is suppose to be a lot cooler here this weekend and then warm back up next week. I hope the warm weather sticks around when it warms back up! You really done a lot in your yoga class. I have a really bad back and have chronic pain with it, I wonder if it would help?

Yes I did. I believe it could if you start slow. Rainy today and tomorrow. Same here.

@KristenH Suppose to actually see some snow flurries here Saturday! Yuck! Just cloudy here today. Any suggestions on where to start that may help. I have Sciatica, neuropathy, deteration of my lower back, plus the lower joint that connects spine into my pelvis has been fractured and didn't heal correctly. I'm just a mess! lol

It's like the Warrior One and Two poses, only your arms are up in goalpost and feet are in a different stance position.
