Six Brogii veterans woke well before most to get some early work in regardless of the cool and damp conditions. Awning under the church was an ideal setting for double and some triple ply coverage or just a washcloth as some elected to utilize. Areas of emphasis were shoulders, neck, hips, glutes and hamstrings. Cooler temps made shavasana a bit uncomfortable but still enjoyable. Great mumble chatter by the PAX regardless of Kubota’s library policy during Broga. Well done lads.

A quartet of frozen Brogiis braved the winds and cooler temps at No Toll to get in a prebeatdown stretching session. Shoulders, hips, back, hamstrings and glutes were called into action before an elongated Shavasana with the cool breeze coming overtop. Group was not prepared for the constant breeze this morning and all agreed the fart sack was a might tough temptation to overcome. Appreciate you gentlemen joining me and pushing me out of the nice warm bed. Way to work fellas.

A bit of a chill was in the filtered Tuckahoe air this morning. This did not stop 5 brogi regulars and 1 newcomer from rising earlier than most to work out some kinks. Hot Potato was previously called so YHC took the 1st round with some standing work followed by Childs Pose and shoulder work. Kubota took over next leading the PAX into a complex pretzel position creating various outbursts in its wake. Passing the torch to EF Hutton for the always popular pigeon and cat/cow. Handshake recommended an elongated shavasana to close us out. Great work men on a…

A might duo of Brogii veterans braved the cooler temps of No Toll for a predawn flexibility test. According to the regular 5 am joggers, this is what was witnessed. Emphasis of the day was on lower body. Hips, hamstrings and back were worked thru a variety of standing postures. Pigeon along with House Party’s favorite shoulder pose got us working on upper body. Extra long shavasana closed things out to start our day. Good seeing House Party back out as he started a new job. Prayers for family in Tampa with with incoming storm.

A Broga first occurred this morning prior to First Watch: A Hot Potato Broga Session! YHC started us off with some preliminary breathing exercises with Mountain Pose leading into a series of dead man hangs, Warrior 1, Warrior 2 and then attempting the Tree Pose. We need to work on our balance in order to perfect Tree Pose. EF Hutton then dropped us down to our mats and initiated some Cat/Cow, Pigeon and Shoulder Stretch. Last Call used his few minutes to keep us on the ground with Runner’s Pose and Child’s Pose. Finally, the potato was tossed to Lockjaw…

A duo Brogi stalwarts took to the No Toll courts to get loose and limber. According to the owls, this is rumored to have occured. Shoulder and back were the initial target areas. Legs and glutes followed with the pigeon the always popular position. Good shavasana caused some shuteye for YHC as cool breeze was ideal this morning. Good to see Chaplain recovering from his back IR and getting some additional rest following the intense 4.30 launch at Rock and Roll on Monday. Well done boys.

A perfect set of trios arose long before the sun to take advantage of the perfect broga conditions. Downed trees and dispatched maintenance crews could not delay early morning broga regulars for an event for the ages. Handshakes arrival at 4.29 got us started with Fudd surprise arrival being socially late after we started. Areas of concentration were shoulders (YHC would have worked this area more with knowledge of the impending beatdown), hamstrings, glutes, hips and back. Shavasana was welcomed by all with the comfortable conditions of autumn. Well done fellas.

A trio of Brogii regulars rose earlier than most to warm up for the epic beatdown Florence had in store. According to the duo of early rising walkers this is what is believed to have occured. Broga emphasis today was on shoulders, hips, glutes and hamstrings. Childs pose and pigeon were popular along with House Party preferred shoulder stretch. Bands were used to work on hamstrings and hips. YHC had taken a 2 week hiatus from No Toll Broga due to a knee injury and recovery. Good to be back in the groove. Keep pushin gents.

After a week of recovery, seven Brogii veterans arrived early with a variety of comfort flooring. Fudd followed Hutton with the yoga mat, YHC preferred double towel protection, Lockjaw brought a wash cloth, while others found whatever was lying around the laundry on the way out. Exercises emphasized shoulders, hamstrings, hips and back. Shavasana was elongated with the cool morning breeze crossing the parking lot. Well done today fellas.
