" I need to stretch & be more flexible...especially on Mondays!
...should I do a pose like this when
I show up at work next Monday??? "
.
... Ahhh...feeling so much better today...did some gentle stretching of the joints and spine… Not only In promoting joint and spinal flexibility, it also seems to promote a certain kind of mental ease and comfort! Yoga (or most any physical exercise) can be a great distraction from worry as it forces the mind to attend to the body and the breathing...certainly a very effective stress reduction and relaxation tool... generally cheaper than other professional interventions...less expensive than group psychotherapy?!
~Remember I was complaining after my Dance Party incident last week? Well- "Shame on me!" for complaining about getting OLD blah-blah-blah...& all my aches and pains... Why???
Just take a look at this inspiring* SUPER Grandma :
Meet Yoga instructor Bette Calman, 83 yrs young! She's still bending over backwards to spread the benefits of the ancient Yoga discipline...
She said, "I'm proof that if you keep at it, you'll get there. I can do more now than I could 50 years ago..." 
She still teaches up to 11 yoga classes a week. We're never too old & the body is really a remarkable instrument...
Wow-wee! ...she can really pull some poses without messing her set-hair and pearl earrings! ~"You go girl !!!" ..
~INSPIRING* indeed !!!

One word to say about that first photo: OW! I'm glad you're feeling better. I really need to start doing yoga again, I'm sure I would feel fewer aches and pains from the job! Love the yoga grandmother, and yay for your awards!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Lala Dahling for the tres lovely award, but I'm too busy laughing at that "Safety Award" cartoon!!! (That is SO my kind of humour.)
ReplyDeleteI'll put the gift in my sidebar for a spell until I get the impetus to pass it on (I'm whacked out from the Sunday post for another one--did you see that?)
Mwah, mwah, mwah from moi!
Kat
P.S. The 83 year old guru puts me to shame (*she says as she takes another dose for her sciatica - wish I were joking, here.*)
I think I will def break something if I try those moves. I tried the pose on pic 2 and fell flat on my face.
ReplyDeleteThis post made my day.
ReplyDelete♥darla
thank you thank you! i will be passing this on next week! thank you again!
ReplyDeletedid you change your header again? looks good!!
also, it looks refreshing to stretch that way but i can't handle that $_$
Amazing! Thanks for sharing this. I'm impressed with that super Grandma. I should keep her story in mind. Speechless!
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding me of Sadako story.
PS forgot to thank you for the award. You made my day today!!! : )
ReplyDeleteWow, that is inspiring. I have a 70 year old woman in my pilates class - and she's so fit! It makes me think that getting older doesn't have to be a bad thing at all.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your awards, darling!
ReplyDeleteTime to do some yoga now!!
xoxox,
CC
Oh yeah...I'm dreaming I can do that first one!! Oh wait...that just might have been the hubs dream...LOL! Congrats on the awards...well deserved all around!
ReplyDeleteWOW what a crazy grandma! I'm only 25 and I can't do those moves that she's doing!
ReplyDeletewhen I'm not being super lazy, I stretch every night before bed....it not only eases back pain the next day, it also lengthens my muscles and oh it feels so good!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is INSANE!
I've been meaning to start doing yoga for almost a year now... have to! These pictures are really crazy :) I wish I was that acrobatic!
ReplyDeleteGreetings,
poet
OMG I so wished to do half on my yoga class....
ReplyDeleteLove this post and congrats on the awards.
xoxo
I can't get that golden girls necklace out of my mind.
ReplyDeleteits such a wtf conversation piece.
I absolutely LOVE yoga, yet I don't do it enough. I need to get into the habit of going a bit more. Relieve some of this stress! Haha!
ReplyDeleteHoly smokes! WOW! I don't even know what to say about all of the pictures! Hahaha

ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear you're feeling better. Excercise is definitely a GREAT distraction from everything else, and all those happy little Endorphins don't hurt either! xxx
Wow is all I have to say! I hope I'm as flexible as that at her age! I do yoga as stress relief, and it is amazing :) And congratulations on the awards dear!
