Bested by an 85 Year Old

Hello,

 

Who would have thought that an 85 year old woman, whom I have not even met, could get the best of me? Who knew it would be so hard? The story in the yoga magazine talked about how her life has changed since she is now 85. She still leads yoga classes, but has modified the moves somewhat so they fit her body. Well, my 73 year old body had a tough time getting it done. One of the difficulties is that each move is held for two minutes. You might think that two minutes is a short time, but I can tell you two minutes is an eternity. There was one move that I have never been able to do very well and holding it for two minutes was frightful. There are some tough old people out there, beware.

 

Now, I have to confess that I did not do the last three poses even though only one of them looked hard to hold or take two minutes. I will try again tomorrow because I am seriously considering using this with my group, all of whom are younger than I am. Some even quite a bit younger.

 

On the other hand there is an amazing switch when you have to ask your youngest grandchild, nine years old, how to do something on the online platform and she knows the answer without thinking much at all because she uses that for school. Coming and Going!

 

Just in case we did not know it is officially spring, the tree on our weather station now is covered with pink flowers. It changes with the season.
