This is one of my favorite times of year when the flowers are in full bloom and my garden takes off. My meditative time increases during days. You see I love to garden! It takes a lot of effort on my part not to spend hours upon hours at a time in the garden. My back and shoulders have a limit for sure, and right now, they are saying slow down!
This is where my yoga practice really kicks into high gear. Not only do I do my morning yoga before work, but I'm doing it at work. It doesn't have to take long to take a yoga break during work. Here's a helpful site that shows you how this can be done easily: http://www.yogaglo.com/video-Category-10-Yoga-At-Work.html
I also like to do yoga when I garden. When I'm stretching to till the soil and pull the weeds, I need to make sure my core muscles are engaged so that my back is protected. I also make sure I use the proper gardening tools to loosen the dirt and weeds so that I'm using minimal effort.
And if I do too much in the garden, I practice my Tips for Dealing with Chronic Pain to ease muscle tension and soreness. Enjoy the beautiful weather and stay healthy!
