#bfc2022 my fave app is Down Dog- really great yoga practice, very guided if you need it, ability to choose levels and type and a TON of access in the free version!

wanderinglynn 👍🏻 I‘ll have to check that one out. 2y
Soubhiville I use Down Dog too! I love that I can set the time, focus, and level based on mood and how my body is feeling, as well as the variety of styles of yoga available here. 2y

Okay, I really need to take care of myself so I‘m setting myself accountable. I‘ve been wanting to perform yoga for my back and neck so I finally got that app. Today I even did 26 minutes and already I‘m feeling good. Then I want to be cleaning and caring for my face. Plus I added after this photo to give myself a mani pedi every 10 days. Let‘s see if a visual reminder will help this month to meet my goals. #BFC2022 @wanderinglynn

brittanyreads I love Yoga with Adrienne on YouTube. She's wonderful. You can search for specific videos for neck and back. She has tons! Happy self care! 🧘‍♀️ 2y

Mehso-so

I wanted to step away from “white people” memoirs for the #mandmchallenge #classic prompt. And this one‘s been #ontbrforever so it fit a #readwithmrbook prompt. But, ugh, it wasn‘t an easy book to read. Antiquated language and a LOT of spiritual oddities just didn‘t work for me. But I enjoyed the travel and stories about India in early 20th century.

alisiakae This has been on my TBR for a while too! I think I first saw it mentioned in 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft I‘d love to read that yoga book. Have heard such good things. As for the Autobiography—I picked it up for my very first Kindle. A thousand years ago! But ugh ... the book wasn‘t for me. 4y
Gissy I read your full review. I have more or less the same impression about this book maybe because I don't know much about this culture and I am not either a spiritual or religious person. However, there are some principles that I just admire and respect from this practice and culture. I visited their main center in California ages ago. Beautiful and peaceful place. They have also a temple in PR. I can't do any yoga😳Thanks for the review🤗 4y

Cinfhen At least you gave it a fair chance 🙏🏻💕😘 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gissy I‘m sure their centers are peaceful! Interesting that they have a place in PR too. I love yoga but this book ... sooo dull. 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Oh yeah ... I finished it. It was sooo hard. But now I‘m reading a charming, recent book about India. 3y
Cinfhen It‘s an awesome cover and I know he‘s a popular author!! I‘ll be watching for your review 😊 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I just finished Gun Island yesterday. Working on the full review but I positively LOVED it. It's full of issues, but not heavy. It's intense but not overly dark. Really, really well done. And I'm excited that Ghosh has such a backlist I can go catch up on! 3y
Cinfhen Ohhhhh!!! Thanks 😊 I‘m having trouble focusing on all my current reads so I‘m happy to pick up new recommendations 3y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen I hear ya. Maybe this one will stick a little more. 🤷🏼‍♀️ 3y

When I put the #memoirsandmysteries reading challenge together for myself last year, I included a #classic prompt. My full intention was to read some Sherlock Holmes, since I enjoy the fan fic that people write and also the BBC show. But ... now that I‘m here ... I just can‘t read a white guy book right now. Instead I‘m going with this book, since I‘ve revived my independent yoga practice due to the pandemic. It‘s certainly unique!

KVanRead I have got back into running and yoga due to the pandemic, more yoga than running lately due to the forest fire smoke, and it has been a life-and-sanity-saver! One silver lining of the lockdown. 4y
Gissy I read long time ago. 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @KVanRead Oh gosh, can‘t imagine running with all the smoke in the air! But I‘m glad yoga is helping your sanity! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Gissy Yes, it‘s been around for years! I will definitely post a review. 😀 4y

It is a remarkable life history that widens the vision to see unfathomable beauties of life. An emphasis on 'kriya yoga' and a life of self respect, calmness and simplicity with good eating habits is in it. The book narrates the lives of Yogis in Himalayas and the powers they inculcate through ultimate practise of yoga and meditation. Some powers maybe me uneasy for normal human being to conquer. This book is a must read if you are a true seeker.

My friends highly recommended this book as inspiring. Perhaps Im just not in the right state of mind for it but I found myself raising an eyebrow at some of what he describes happening to him.
