Oh gosh! I'm not a proper yogi! I just do a few basic stretches and deep breathing exercises which are a bit of a combination of yoga and Pilates. I don't even know the proper names for what I do! I was shown how to do them by the Pilates Physio who I saw for about 6 months during my recovery after treatment.
My favourite thing is this deep breathing routine using a small ball placed in various positions as you lean against it. I also love just laying on my back with my legs straight up against a wall for a few minutes before I go to bed. Apparently it slows your nervous system down and you sleep better.
I always like the idea of beach yoga. Maybe I will get around to trying that one day. I love doing what seems natural and if I can do it in a beautiful natural environment then that is even better. Feels good for the soul! Deanne xxx
