Will I ever find a yoga session with NO downward dog or sun salutations?
June 25, 2012 at 8:53am
I'm just too stiff and out of shape to enjoy doing yoga sessions where I have to put my entire body weight on my hands. I love yin yoga because it's so gentle and enjoyable, but wish I could find more videos that were a bit livelier without having to resort to sun salutations. Where, oh where could they be?

Which challenge are you taking, and why?

I'm taking the Energy challenge because I feel so tired so often. With a young baby, that's no surprise, but I'd like to find ways to improve things how and when I can.

I adore Bernie Clark's yin yoga classes. I get now why they talk about "bliss" in yoga. Fantastic.

I love the quality of the videos so far, but I'm only seeing 3 available. When I click on the arrow left or right to view more videos, nothing happens. Are there meant to be more options, or are there only 3 yoga videos for de-stressing, Stage 1?
