Thursdays have been our day we start off downtown. We meet at the Iowa City Public Library and are able to rent a room before the library opens. The past two weeks we have started with some Yoga. Our instructor is Erica Reschly. She brings mats for us and we organize them into a circle. It looks like a colorful sun. We take our shoes off and start with an excercise to get our heart rates up. Today we played "Cat, Cat, Cow"...a yoga version of "Duck, Duck, Goose". If you got tagged you had to go into the center and hold a yoga pose as the game continued. Paula had to hold tree pose today beause Lucy taged her. We then concentrate on our breathing by doing some Lion breaths. That is a fun one that Jorge suggested from when he did Yoga outside of school. Some of the poses we are familiar with are sun salutation, airplane, tree pose and dolphin pose. At the end we all stretch together and we could ALL benefit from daily stretching and reminders to sit up straight. Hopefully with our weekly yoga, we will see an improvement in our flexibility.
