Knitting Dragonflies

I have started a Yoga class! I have taken yoga off and on for years. And tried a few kinds. Mostly whatever class I could find. Yoga is a binding together of the body, mind and spirit. The ultimate goal is the union of the individual's consciousness with the infinite consciousness. Al though it can be practiced religiously each day, yoga is not a religion. This one is Kundalini yoga. Kundalini, which incorporates mantras (chanting), meditations, visualizations, and guided relaxation. It focuses on healing and "purifying" the mind, body, and emotions. Kundalini yoga is designed to activate the kundalini energy in the spine. This is achieved with poses, breath control, chanting, and meditation. Kundalini yoga is beneficial in dealing with addictions, and many people find it a natural way of releasing endorphins just by breathing and doing the poses. Kundalini yoga consists of poses combined with breath control, hand and finger gestures, body locks, chanting

Ply odd stuff in, (see Pluckyfluff) , dye it before or after, mix your fibers..... +It's a challenge, especially in the beginning +And it's fun +When you are done and decide to knit it, knitting seems to go really FAST... +I think it rocks the soul and lowers your blood pressure (I'm positive it must) So get some fiber and  a spindle, or like I did for years, get a book and read a
