Hi miss Shimmy,
I still go to yoga class every wednesday, it it sooo nice! However I'd like to do some poses at home too, but I can't really remember in what order the teacher does them and I'm affraid it can be harmful if you do the poses in the wrong order? Or doesn't that matter?

miss_shimmy · 09-10-2006, 04:02 PM

thats great moon,I am so happy you have kept with it.
what is your fave asana?

mine is the cobra,love that!

about positions in right order,my friend gave me a few positions,she has done yoga for about 8 years,I think there has to be some order about it.
you could ask your yoga teacher when you go next wednesday?

love and smiles

miss shimmy

At this moment, I like asanas which include forward bends the best. They make me feel like I'm getting more flexible every second (although they also cause muscle pain

)

My least favorite at this moment is head stand. I tried it last wednesday and it hurt terribly. I wonder if it's healthy to do it if it hurts so much?
