Tag: Broga

Four zen seekers challenged themselves for early morning broga. Conditions were perfect for getting into flow and connecting with one’s thoughts.

A quartet of early risers dusted off their secured broga mats for the 1st pre workout stretch of 2023. Conditions were pleasant with an unexpected overnight dew falling upon the courts. Areas of interest included shoulders, back, calves, hamstrings, hips and glutes. Good to have DTH and Doozy join us this morning and Chaplain in the fold. Plenty of creaks and moans were audible as we work out the winter joints. Hopefully warm weather continues.

A loving pair of Brogiis shook off the romantic fart sack for a early morning stretching session. With warmer temps, it was time to get Broga season back up again. Todays session included shoulder work, hips, hamstrings along with some back. YHC dusted off the old towels that had been in winter storage. Other members busted out the 16 ply mat with adjustable knee protection. Corporate should take notes as this newer model Broga Mat will be on the website shortly, patent pending. Thanks to Lockjaw for joining.

Five men of peace assembled quietly in The Gloom for a seasonally pleasant version of Broga. Temperatures were 70 and sunny. According those stuck in traffic on River Road, the following quite likely happened:

Towels down. Welcomes shared. Shoes removed (optional).

Neck stretch. Arm stretch. Shoulder stretch.

Yadda, yadda, yadda.

Torso.

Legs.

Full body stretches.

Pigeon.

Shivasavan.

Ankles.

Hips.

Groin.

Numbers, names, etc.

No announcements.

NMS: Successful workout. Convinced Handshake to stay for First Watch.

4 men in need of stretching gathered for a 25 degree Broga. YHC can’t say many “official” Yoga poses were done but it was really nice to breathe the cold air and stretch. Thanks to Upchuck, Last Call, and EF Hutton for joining YHC.

Six bros broga’d on the steps of River Road Baptist. No injuries were reported, unless you count olfactory receptors.

Four assembled in the darkness of the wee-hours to stretch and grow. Conditions were 70 and sunny. According to the dude in the pick-up, the following might have happened:

UpChuck Q:

Stretch to the sky. Stretch to the side. Repeat.

Last Call Q:

Stretch to the sky. Stretch to the side. Stretch to the front. Repeat. (Hutton released).

Hutton Q:

Stretch to the sky. Stretch to the side. Stretch to the front. Repeat. (Someone else released).

Names, Numbers, Etc.

NMS: Stretching is cool. F3 yoga mats are awful and off-brand. Adults use a towel or a normal mat.

Announcements:

First Watch is 3.
Kubota is 5.
Breaking Bread is cool.
Drinking beer and running is at 7 on Saturday. Puking is at 7:05.

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 colder than normal morning.

Good to see Wojo make it out from his travels around the country albeit without groundcover. Thankfully Kubota emerged with a plethora of towels to provide protection. Great work men.
