shiva_rea_and_acacia re_alisma awesome. still not sure it burns calories. i did a few minutes that was truly the easiest, and then it was like this weird coordination stretching thing which i very quickly decided was beyond me. it's not hopeless, it's just kind of thinky, but in a kinesthetic sense. not your HOLD THIS kind of yoga. not martial arts either. pretty interesting, but like i said, beyond my very conservative bodily disposition. i think i shall next try the zillions of push-ups strength one. 110102 ... re_alisma SHIVA REA AND THE ACACIA CATALOG is/are awesome. not lying. i totally pour over that thing. i bought matching turquoise shirts for me and my mom -- they were cheap at the outlet. they had a simple enough saying on them, although i don't think it translates too well here in the blue. my mom's friend died of cancer last year, and you bet she didn't let go easily. why should she? the t-shirts were meant to ease the burden on my mom. digression. 110102 ... unhinged i absolutely love her. i've been doing her vinyasa flow dvds for over four years now; some of the stuff i thought was impossible before isn't quite so impossible now. some of the stuff i still watch her do in amazement. and she DOES burn calories. her yoga dvds in combination with becoming a vegetarian and this past summer adding an about 2-mile walk/jog before my shiva dvds has made me seven sizes skinnier than i was five years ago. i stand up straighter and my arm hurts less: i love shiva. her radiant heart dvd is my favorite yoga dvd to do when i am sad. but i have to say, i started my yoga journey with a much easier, less flow, beginner's dvd that helped me get the sanskrit and the basic moves down a little. but yeah, i love love love shiva rea. she makes ALL of me feel better. 110103 ... unhinged daily energy flow is my favorite these days just bought yogini and fluid power , both of which have been kicking my ass. since my walk/jog outside isn't much of an option these days, i appreciate the sweaty yoga. namaste shiva. you make my fucking day. 110204 what's it to you? who go blather from
