I could do the lotus position when I was ten, but not anymore.<br /><br />Justine, in my experience the whole kneeling-with-the-zafu-between-your-legs thing doesn't work very well. There's something called a seiza bench that's better for the kneeling posture, but it'd be a shame to waste that awesome zafu you just made.<br /><br />I'd recommend starting with Burmese posture and working your way up to quarter-lotus, then half-lotus. That's what worked for me. Of course I don't know how your mobility issues will affect things.Chiphttp://www.cholling.org/hplmnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220981133349266029.post-69930190018420714382010-06-06T03:04:10.553-05:002010-06-06T03:04:10.553-05:00Excellent and the image of the dog being confused ...Excellent and the image of the dog being confused and then joining in in his own fashion is fabulous!

Never understood why people have trouble with it. Of course I've always been able to put my feet behind my head, and could do a splits until I was 20, so that probably explains it.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01160139758148827217noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220981133349266029.post-89734686857867504812010-06-04T17:04:26.588-05:002010-06-04T17:04:26.588-05:00Wow, comment spam that's not in Chinese!

I love the step aerobics, obstacle course, and bike riding. I'm a dork, I confess. That little talking cafeteria tray isn't a very good judge of age, is it? I don't flip it off either. Really. Well, hardly ever.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10674498749658797831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220981133349266029.post-34313288779656928032010-06-03T22:27:18.401-05:002010-06-03T22:27:18.401-05:00I didn't try it - Tom did.

Must be a Wii Fit Plus addition. <br /><br />How are you at lotus position? It took me forever to be able to force my creaky old man joints into the half lotus, and I'm stopping there.Chiphttp://www.cholling.org/hplmnoreply@blogger.com
