Shadow Shot Sunday – Yoga on the Mountain

The other day I went and dropped off the kid to start his shift at Lowes. I was all set to go back home and get ready for a stand up paddleboard yoga class I take every now and then but the weather was cool, sunny and nice, and the covid is raging here in little old 60% unvaccinated Oklahoma so I decided to go for a hike on Turkey Mountain rather than go inside.

So I took off. I took the blue trail on top of the mountain on the outbound, north route, and came back on the lower yellow trail which has great views of the Arkansas River and south Tulsa. It faces east and the sun was still pretty low and I thought…

Wow, there are lots of places to do yoga here. I was thinking in particular of sun salutations which is a good dynamic limbering up pose.

Put them rocks to use for something besides falling off of and tripping over.

This looked to me like a tree doing the tree pose on a rock.

You got two rocks here, for romantic yoga folks.

This is more my style. A rock I can just walk up on and something where I can reach out and steady myself. I do a lot of steadying myself when I do yoga. Of course many people don’t recognize what I do as yoga.

Here is a place for a whole family. An old oil pumpjack base. With my favorite directional sign. Just follow the arrows if you are lost. My advice is to not get lost.

Here is a video of my route.

Come join the fun at Shadow Shot Sunday 2 with the Magical Mystery Teacher.

    Alan – I think outdoor yoga is a fabulous option, especially under current circumstances!

    To answer your question on my blog, that trail cam shot is a coyote!

    I would have made the same choice as you, I’m not ready to be in a group yet, especially inside.

    “a tree doing the tree pose on a rock” You’re too funny!

    I haven’t done Yoga in a few years and I had to steady myself too. I’m much better at Tai-Chi.
