Turning Heads at the Amphitheater – YOGA

/in /by

FNGs:  None

Warm-up: Lots of stretching

The Thang:  YOGA. Pax moseyed from parking lot to the amphitheater.  Pull-ups were done while passing the kiddie-area.  PAX rolled out their mats (one PAX decided to fight the ants in the grass after not reading Slack and bringing his mat).  YHC found some soothing music getting us in the right mood.  Lots of stretching from our head to our toes.  Many YOGA moves were included.  Stretching of our lower extremities causing many female walkers to turn and stare, possibly gawk at the maneuvers performed on stage.  Definitely a crowd pleaser.  Lots of laughs for sure.

COT:  Finished with some Jane Fonda-like stretches (she was a beauty in the 80s).  YHC took us out in prayer.  Shared story of my headlock 7 years ago.

Announcements:  Support the Run the Quay this Saturday.

Honored to lead during my 7th year Anniversary with F3.

Respectfully,

Dauber
