Dayleeoga Day 4 | Because I didn’t know how much I needed this class today!
Wow interesting Day 4 this time around. Today we did neck and shoulder openers. Major trouble spots for me typically so I know I needed it. I wouldn’t be surprised if tomorrow I’m mega sore, but as I remember the way they put this series together at DoYogaWithMe.com is in a way that really gives muscles groups a break, so in this case I’m expecting some sort of lower body, and leg work tomorrow.
All good, all forward motion!
It was an interesting one today. I’ve had some bad neck and shoulder tightness, pinched nerves and knots in my shoulders in the recent past. Consequences of being a keyboard warrior I guess, so I feel that when I get an opportunity to stretch those areas out I tend to overdo it. Today I really didn’t feel the calming and zen effects of the practice so much because I was mostly concentrating on “How do I feel? Is this ok, or do I need to back out a bit?”.
So although my mind wasn’t in a clear meditative state, at least I was listening to my body and keeping that channel of communication open.
That’s the thing with neck work, there’s a very fine line between, “Hey this feels so nice and OWWWW!”.
I just checked and it’ looks like tomorrow’s class is much shorter and a gentle relaxing one- YESSSS. Important to have those kinda classes mixed in, especially if you’re going 30 days straight!
Deep thoughts?
Nothing today, and also nothing from the last round. I have a feeling I was similarly focused on being careful and not hurting myself last time as well. - That reminds me, I should get the heat pack on my shoulders while I step into work soon. That’ll be a nice :D
YAYA! That’s a wrap on Day 4 - Nothing life changing but I defiantly feel better for it. We can’t be mystical cats every morning!

Fire quote! thanks for that :)
My shoulders are killing me right now, maybe a spot of yoga is needed. :D
Would SO recommend that class- give it a try! Us creatives who pour over our work all hunched up really need a good stretch now and again -- thanks for stopping by @opheliafu !
As a keyboard warrior you definitely have to take care of the neck and shoulders, mine are achey all the time :/
I found a standing desk situation really helps get me out of that hunched over position, but for some reason I have a hard time doing any intricate design work standing so I start the morning standing as long as I can and then switch it up. Helps for sure, even if its just shaving off seated time :D
I've seen those standing desks unfortunately I have nothing comparable at my apartment I could try with, I do feel like it would be wierd to work standing up at the computer I'm not sure how I would do with that.
It's kind of nice, really keeps you more alert I feel- this is the one I have https://oristand.co/ I super love that I can just tuck it away or bring it places with me, Also serves as a stand for my VO recording setup haha- gotta have multiple uses ;)

Well I'm glad, welcome to my little corner of the blockchain!
