New to the forums

Hi all,

I have been doing yoga for a few years on and off. Usually i start doing it when something hurts :slight_smile:

Hope to learn a few things here and have like minds to commune with.

Welcome! Glad to have you here…
Namaste

Welcome :slight_smile: But why wait until something hurts? Why not be proactive so less ends up hurting over time? :slight_smile:

My guess would be sheer laziness and procrastination :slight_smile:

Hello and welcome.
I am new here myself, but I can tell you it is very nice to set aside 15 mins and catch up on different Yoga related topics.

Hello, I guess that I should have started by introducing myself here. My name is Candace and I am really enjoying my yoga experiences so far. I found this board and hope to have and participate in some interesting topical conversations with all of you. By the way I am still new at everything so please take it easy on a first timer.

Morlock,
I can relate to the procrastination and laziness. I too am having a hard time finding a way to re-incorporate a regular practice into my routine, which I changed 2 years ago. I guess you and I both have to work on discipline. I take baby steps. I’ve been doing 10-15 minutes of stretching each morning, and am working on making myself go to bed a little earlier so I can get up early enough for a full hour of practice eventually.
You can do it! Don’t wait for it to hurt - just imagine that every time you let it get to the point of hurting, it may be causing small damage that is harder and harder to correct.
I know when I’m doing yoga regularly, I don’t get tension headaches (been plagued with them all my life) and I don’t wake up with any aches or pains or stiffness. I want that back! :slight_smile:
You can do it! Take it from a fellow lazy procrastinator. :stuck_out_tongue:
