i would break...


if my body ever found itself in this position


or 
this one


and 
lord only knows what would happen if i tried this. 
all i know is that it wouldn't be pretty.


all of the people in these photos are my new friends and they kept me thoroughly entertained 
on the green sunday afternoon.



there was jumping, dancing and yoga and i loved every minute of it.



if i were brave and unafraid of hurting myself, i'd be in their yoga class tonight with them.
instead i'll be in my cottage thinking of them. 
why
because it would be just my luck to pull or hurt something major in my neck
and 
since i'm miles away from my favorite doctor and my girlie friends are coming to visit me this week, 
well let's just say "better safe then sorry" and then you can roll your eyes and call me a weenie.

  1. I dare say I have been in some of those positions but it was purely by accident while falling down a steep hill. I do yoga but its for less limber souls. My body thanks me for the more gentler approach.

    Precious amazing photography and how you capture movement!

  2. Hmm, Yoga...it's been calling my name for months now but I hear what you say. I am so rusty it would result in something nasty.

    Beautiful poses though :-)

  4. I have several friends who practice Yoga and I'm amazed at their flexibility and the beautiful poses. Last year I bought a Yoga DVD because I needed to strengthen my inner core after injuring my back while at work. I've yet to put my big girl panties on and try it yet! Like you, I'm just sure my body would rebel!

    Those are great photos! Love the poses and the actions shots of all the jumping!

    want to think about it.

  6. Not a yoga fan here. Oh, the poses look all pretty, but I've just never seen the benefits of contorting my neck and back and listening to them go snap crackle and pop. Call me weenie too.

  8. No, I wouldn't call you a weenie. You are not a fool.

    Beautiful shots here! There was a time when I could bend like this. People told me I was double jointed. It was easy. But now . . . ha!

  18. I've always wanted to take a yogo class and that has been my main worry...

    that in my search for liquid movement in my tightly strained body that i will utimately pull something. and it will hurt. i am a wienie, too and its okay.

    I love that last photo...or expression is priceless, LOL
