Eddie Would Flow Yoga

Eoin Finn
PY4H2 - Eddie Would Flow
65 min practice
* good, a lot of balances :) , felt a little more like a workout (maybe because of the chair variations - w/sq, warrior 3 up and down on the one leg, and the abs segment - not a fan of the abs segments usually skip them)
* the relaxation segment is same as twisted sister which I love - one of his best relaxations :)

NOTES:
** HOLY CR@P!!
** started this as rx'd w/dbl 12kg did 3 rounds nonstop.  squats not looking so good, worried about the soreness from last week and didn't want to go there again, so rested :30 subbed swings for the squats and knocked out 2 more rounds with :30 rest between. Really feeling it now, grabbed the dbl 10kg!!! (really had to get out of my ego!!) and did 2 more rounds with :30 rest between, 2 rounds nonstop, rest :45 and knocked out 1 last round.
** so total 10 rounds (3 as rx'd, 7 w/swings subbed for squats)
** I think next time I do this I would go with the dbl 10kg and try and go non stop for as long as I could still keeping the sub of the swings for squats
** no desire to do any yoga :p
