valkryorI finished doing a fairly simple yoga routine with lots of standing poses (I really really love standing poses...tadasana [sp?] or mountain pose is probably my favourite). That said, I discovered two things that are a major hindrance to not only this specific routine, but yoga in general.
Thing the First:
It's very very hard to do a workout that's supposed to relax and rejuvenate you when the baby's being cranky for no reason.
I had to put Tabula in the other room because I started shouting at her. She was really getting on my nerves, but once she was in the other room, she stopped being fussy. :P
Thing the Second:
This apartment is not set up for yoga. Period.
Part of this is the @#$%ing coffee table. The coffee table either needs wheels or a sledgehammer, I can't tell which. Now, just so you all know, the coffee table was a Christmas gift made for us years back by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fuzzpsych's father. It's sturdy, it's heavy and it catches on the rug everytime it's moved more than a couple of inches. To make matters worse, it has to be moved mostly off the rug so that there's enough space. It goes off easy enough, but it needs two people to get it back in place without a lot of swearing. It's on my "replace" list for this reason alone. It's a good piece of furniture, but it's become...aggravating.
For this routine, you need wall space for two of the poses. The only "wall" space available (for the most part) is a closed door. Which is neither practical nor efficient to the workout. So that means that there are two poses that I just simply cannot do, which is a shame, because they look like really good stretches.
So that's what I was doing about an hour or so ago. Sounds like fun, don't it?
