A Yoga Challenge Update
Since I started my 21-day yoga challenge, which later morphed into a 30-day yoga challenge on April 8th, I have done a yoga routine every morning except one! Most days I have done one of the three routines presented in Richard Hittleman’s Yoga – 28 Day Exercise Program. On several of days that I didn’t do a Hittleman routine, I did a Kundalini routine. The end result is that I am a lot more flexible than I was two months ago. A bonus is I also feel better overall. The bottomland is that the three Hittleman yoga routines are now a regular part of my morning exercise routine and hopefully will stay there.
I am a firm believer that flexibility of your spine is an important ingredient in your overall health and well-being.
Thoughts about the Seven Chakras
In addition, while I have not gotten into all of the spirituality of Chakras and Chakra balancing, I do believe that there is validity in the concept of Chakras. If you are not familiar with Chakras, here are the seven Chakras….
- Root chakra — base of the spine — red
- Sacral chakra — just below the navel — orange
- Solar Plexus chakra — stomach area — yellow
- Heart chakra — center of the chest — green
- Throat chakra — base of the throat — blue
- Third Eye chakra — forehead, just above area between the eyes — indigo
- Crown chakra — top of the head — violet
Earlier in the afternoon he warmed up for his attempt at the Pose while sitting on my lap.
Methinks Sir Logan is a little chubby? don’t you agree?
