Hot Yoga

During the time we were all in Oswego for Dad's illness and funeral, there were many trips to Sandy Eby's for hot yoga classes. Sandy is an excellent yoga teacher, and I was very happy to be initiated into hot yoga by a family member. Yoga at 105 degrees is intense, particularly with so many members of my family sweating nearby. I loved it. It seemed like everyone else did too. Pictures of the weekend on Flickr

Yoga with Nola

With all the stress in my life right now I have decided to start each day with a little yoga. Nola thinks this is perhaps the best thing I have ever done.

Usually Nola goes outside to play when I do yoga but the past few days have been cold and rainy and that just won't do for Nola. So he has been right beside me, and I do mean right beside me.

I wish I had a video camera to document our fun. Nola sits right beside me while I do the poses and sometimes decides that I am doing it wrong and pushes me over. He also licks my face constantly to let me know how good I am doing.

Nola actually does downward dog with me. I am not lying. He will actually stand beside me and do the pose. Maybe I should consider making a yoga video with him for owners and their dogs.
