Due to the accumulation of ice and snow recently, our driveway has been a sheet of ice. Getting older, there are definitely more fears about slipping and sliding on it. Currently, taking down the garbage is one of those monumental tasks. I realize that I need to continue to be flexible and strong as I age. So I am always on the look out for ways to exercise in the winter. I have tried many different yoga classes and most leave me with serious neck pain . I have to admit I am competitive and I wish to do the postures better than the person next to me. Also, many classes are in themselves very competitive and strenuous.
Recently, I found a yoga dvd that I find to be very helpful,
Yoga for Stress Relief (With The Dalai Lama)
. The format is well organized and it includes several different workouts ,ie. for beginning and ending your day, increasing back mobility, and decreasing insomnia. I have been using the exercises daily for the past 10 days and I have found them to be enjoyable and helpful. Plus, the DVD is shot in Antigua on a gorgeous white sands beach and I imagine what it would be like to be in all of that beauty right about now ....
