That felt good...

sarahmichelefLately my back has been really bugging me... I spend so much time on the floor playing with TRex, hauling her around, etc. that it's not great for the spine.
I haven't formally taken yoga since spring 2004; I stopped taking classes in order to save the money for Oxford, and then I didn't want to saddle Amy with having to spend extra time with me to modify what the class was doing for a rapidly growing pregnant lady (and actually, at the same time, she stopped teaching through LSSE). And I haven't practiced with any regularity since TRex was born. Anyway, this morning I actually made the time to do a couple of sun salutations, and it felt GREAT. I have ZERO flexibility left... my downward dog was pathetic - I couldn't even get my heels down on the first one, and I can't get my chest to my legs in a forward bend... but all of that will come back if I even practice for 10 minutes or so a couple of days a week. We'll have to see if TRex thinks playing with mama while she does funny poses on the floor is a good game.

Date: 2005-11-01 03:41 pm (UTC)I'm writing a paper on how Canadian immigrant groups use the folk arts to build solidarity within their group and to communicate with other groups/the host culture. Do you know of any good theorists I could consult (looking particularly for anyone who writes about folks arts/folklore in a modern/extranational context)?
I wonder if I still have a copy of your comps somewhere? :)
