lovely yoga session

I enjoyed a lovely yoga session. My injured foot is still not quite right, but I found ways to modify poses to accommodate that. Every day can make a difference. If you’re having a challenge sticking with your exercise, try adding music! #namaste

great yoga session

I enjoyed a great yoga session while the cardinals & chipmunks explored the drizzly outside world. Plus tons of fun with my Hula Hoop. I love to hoop! I’m trying to figure out what songs match my hooping BPM. So far the songs have been either a tad too slow or too fast. I’ll narrow […]
