Yoga Poses for AF Part 2 - and breaking news!!

First the breaking news, Hubby turned to me last night while we were

sittin' on the couch and said "Is there any of that energy, woo hoo, yoga, 

acupuncture stuff I should be doing to help us out?". 

ummmmmmmmmmm......what????? excuse me? did he say what I 

thought he said??? YES HE DID

I tried to stay calm and simply replied "well, if your comfortable with it

I have heard wonderful things about sperm count and acupuncture, 

but I've also heard good things about yoga as well". The conversation

ended there, but in the morning instead of doing his usual weight work

out, he did one of my Yoga Videos!!!! YEAH HUBBY!!

Ok, now on to the yoga, AF is still here so my yoga session was very 

much the same. My cramps were a bit better so I decided to add some 

more movements that were still gentle but not restorative. Here is 

what I added:

I started my session off again with 10min of Meditation and moved

into cow/cat, which you see here, I would go from cow to cat then 

move back into child's pose. When I had done I few rounds I rested

in childspose for 5min with my bolster under my upper body.

Then I moved back up to hands and knees for some hip 

rotations to bring circulation to my pelvis and open up the 

hips. I did a few on each side, just going with how I felt. 

Next I tucked my toes under and sat back on my heels, this can be 

QUITE intense so I can't really sit all the way back, I have to breath 

to get through it. As far as the arms go, I did not do what this woman

is doing, I just interlaced my hands behind my back to open 

my chest. 

When these exercises were done I moved back into the rest

of the restorative poses I showed in my last post and finished

off with a shavasana. Overall it was about 40min, but I felt really

great for the rest of the day!!
