I’m kind to myself – at least once a week – when I go to my yoga class. This is what I see from the window of the characterful late Victorian town hall in Masham as I stand, balanced and purposeful, in mountain pose.

You are fortunate to be able to go to your class, I have to go to mine on Zoom.

Well, that’s a while lot better than nothing, and impervious to further lockdowns too.

What a nice view! Ages since I went to Masham, and I can’t hold that pose for more than a couple of seconds 🙂 🙂

I’m not the class super-star either (‘Yoga is not competitive’, insists our teacher)

Wonderful – it is a much needed form of self kindness.
My pilates centre is balancing in person and zoom at the moment, and I was enjoying the zoom one. Kept me sane during lockdown, but now my teacher has gone on long term leave and it isn’t working for me with the alternatives 😦 so I am back to my Portuguese approach of doing it alone.

I’ve been very poor at self-motivation, but have actually managed a short session at home every day for a month as soon as I get up. Well done!

awww you are so good. You’re going to be my inspiration to start doing the same – manage it in Portugal but here I am far too lazy and body and mind are complaining now!

I the end, that’s how I had to d it. Apart from getting washed, I simply don’t allow myself to start the day in other ways till I’ve done my Daily Dozen. If I don’t do it then, it simply doesn’t happen. And it’s a short session. I do it because I know the alternative is stiffening up too much.

Right – I will mend my ways, or at least return to Portuguese ways as of tomorrow and I will rely on you to check in with me every now and again!

A lovely view, I’ve had an on and off thing with yoga and pilates for years. I should probably find my way back to it, its does do me good. I did see a You Tube video about goat yoga and that looked great fun!

Neat photo. So with your hands at your sides I can only guess that you held the camera in your teeth and used your tongue to trip the shutter. Quite a feat! Thank you for all that effort!

We only started again recently, and not everyone got a place ( socail distancing). It tended to be those of us who’d been around longest.
