Hope everyone is doing well. I spent all yesterday afternoon working in my yard, trying to rip out some of the weeds on steroids and do a little pruning (most assuredly not a one day job). As a result, my arms are a bit sunburned, so I think my outdoor travels will be limited to a SPW. I'm also going to do some yoga and qi gong.
I heard a loud squawking outside my office window this morning and when I got to the window, could see a crow in the house finch nest on my front porch. I ran to the door to chase it off, but suspect the crow ate the finch eggs. I never see crows close to my house.....I can only guess the crow was watching mom and dad and figured out they were taking care of a nest. Mother Nature can be a cruel girl sometimes. I'll miss the happy little finch songs. Anny - A belated happy birthday to you with best wishes for many more years of happiness and good health. Sandra - Thanks for the LPW/SPW acronyms. Hooray that your niece got up and running with her yoga classes, and I love that Karma made a guest appearance. Unfortunately I'm not on FB, so I can't check it out. Beth - I hear you about feeling tired. I'm mentally drained with all the coronavirus news and being short-staffed at work. Thanks for posting the yoga practices. I hadn't seen those bracelets before - those are cute. Garrie - I'm not on FB, but thumbs up to you for posting a work-out. Hope everyone in your family is staying well. Carolyn - I'm so jealous that you got to see Leonid & Friends! I'm thinking some Kundalini yoga would feel good right now. Paine - I'm so happy to hear that your daughter and family arrived safely this week. I loved the story about going on a walk with your grandson - I imagine that cactus was definitely a curious looking thing! Speaking of worrying about moose and bears - did you see the clip of the NBC reporter who was doing the live shot from Yellowstone and the bison started walking toward him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNSkmTQwC9E I thought about you and the moose!! I hope all is well with Gayle and her DH as well as Linda and Meow. Time to scrub out the litter box while the beast is taking a nap.

Paine, how nice that you started us off today--that makes me glad b/c it seems like you are getting settled in there! And so glad you liked my practice as well. I think I'm going to try to get into a routine of how I film the practices: I'm thinking about doing the meditations 2-3x/week (likely MWF), the longer focused yoga on Tuesdays, and the restorative yoga on Thursdays. I'll have to try that out this week.
Sandra, we are getting rain moving in too; I hear it thundering now (ETA: add it just started pouring)! DH & I got in a nice MPW (moderate or medium) a little bit ago, and it was so sunny and nice. I would be interested in seeing your nieces videos; it would be nice to compare notes with someone--plus I love yin. I sent you a message on FB. cyana, I saw a meme that said "it's like Mother Nature has sent us to our rooms to think about what we've done." I thought that was fitting!!! My extra tiredness seems to have passed; it could have been related to TTOM. We saw geese squawking on the roof of a neighboring house the other day; I've never seen them on the roof before! My exercise week was fairly consistent but mostly yoga; I meditated most days too. Monday work-from-home Day 1 KB2 - Warm-up + Kickbox combos 1 & 2 Ekhart Yoga (YT) - Finding Resilience Together (live class at noon EST) Tuesday 30MTF Build & Burn - Legs & KB/KB premix (about 20 minutes) Jennifer Kreatsoulus (YT) - Standing Practice to Uplift Your Energy YogaVibe585 (YT, local studio) - Wall Stretching with Jesse Wednesday Renee Allen Yoga (VFer on Vimeo!) - Restore & Relax at HOme Thursday Tracy Campoli (YT) - Love Your Arms Lucy WR (YT) - Arms Workout at Home without Weights Jennifer Kreatsoulus (YT) - A Practice for Being Present Ekhart Yoga (YT) - Finding Resilience Together (live class at noon EST) Friday Lee Holden (online emergency kit) - Qi Gong for Anxiety Charisma Yoga Bar (YT, local studio) - 20-Minute Seated Yoga with Carol (my friend!) Ekhart Yoga (YT) - Finding Resilience Together (live class at noon EST) Saturday recumbent bike, 5 minutes (as warm-up) Garrie on Facebook - Upper & Lower Circuit (1st 2 rounds, about 15 minutes) Yoga International (FB) - A 25-Minute Practice to Calm the Nervous System Sunday YogaVibe585 (YT) - Virtual LIVE yoga class with Jesse Fabulous 50s (YT) - 5 minute Toned Arm Workout for Mature Women I highly recommend the weekday live practices from Esther Ekhart; they are such a nice combo of gentle movement and meditation. I also highly recommend the gentle practices from Jennifer Kreatsoulus. They are designed for eating disorder clients but are great gentle routines for anyone at about 20 minutes each. Waving to all--take care!!!
