Good morning y’all! I hope your week has started your week off on a good note and you are feeling well today! I hope y’all have a lovely day and continue feeling the best you possibly can!
This past Sunday I received an amazing yoga tip that can be done at my desk at work from a fabulous fellow blogger! Heather & Dizzy from https://dinosaursdonkeysandms.com/ sent me a YouTube link for a short yoga option that can be done easily at work! It is easy and incredibly helpful. Not only do I encourage you to check out Heather & Dizzy’s site, but please check out this short yoga video. I tried it at work on Monday and was shocked on how much it helped! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tAUf7aajBWE
Both Heather & Dizzy have been doing yoga for some time now and knew how much I really wanted to give this a try! The two of them share great videos showing just how easy yoga can be. Dizzy is adorable with all her honest efforts and I know that Heather will give Dizzy her favorite treats, ginger cookies!
So not just those of us living with a chronic illness, but everyone could benefit from practicing yoga. There are so many positives to trying this, with no negatives that follow! I think the improvements practicing yoga can provide us can and will be a benefit to our health!
The video I did while at work on Monday (the same one I shared with y’all) was relaxing and allowed the pain in my body to ease up some, which was wonderful! As I discover more easy-to-do yoga videos, I will continue to share them with y’all and if you know of any, please share them with me. I am really trying to find more ways to help me relax and therefore reduce the levels of stress I tend to feel daily!
Thank you so much for stopping by my site today and I do look forward to reading your comments! I do promise to respond to all comments as quickly as I can! Again, please if you have not already viewed Heather & Dizzy’s site, stop by their amazing site as I am more than certain you will find Heather’s personality and humor very encouraging and contagious! Thank you again Heather for all of your kind & encouraging comments & your amazing advice about yoga! Always remember that I am always sending y’all LOTS of love and comfort!
Always, Alyssa

Truthfully I do not think I gave it a honest effort and just kept giving up. I tend to get frustrated and give up after a few failed attempts. But maybe trying again will work out, we will see!

The body can do amazing things. Sometimes all it takes is a few minutes. The key is long term. The longer you do it the better you’ll be.

I blogged about yoga myself, bought a mat, read up on it… need to get back into it after surgery, think I could manage a little now. I love Heather & Dizzy and co, so I’ll second that! Really good to hear the video you did was relaxing and helped with pain. YouTube is excellent for trying out new things and practising exercise like this. If (or should I say, ‘when’), I get back into a little yoga I’ll let you know if I come across any really good ones 🙂
