Yoga with Master Rambo
1/11/2017
About 4 to 5 days a week I start off my day with a little hatha yoga. I am no master yogi that's for sure, but it has been an awesome method for slow and continual recovery from 47 years of life that had devastating consequences on my physical condition.
I've been a part time practitioner of this practice for about 4 years now, and what a difference it makes in my life, little by little.
Most mornings Frankie and Rambo join me for my routine. They are relentless Masters.
Today I thought it was time to share with others the secret to my yoga for wellness, and that is in fact Master Rambo. He doesn't look like it on the outside, but on the inside, he is Yoda at heart. I asked him if he'd allow me to document our session today and while a little bashful and shy, he gave me the thumbs up.
I'd like to introduce you to your Yoga Instructor for the day (drum rolllllll.......) Master Rambo!!!
Rambo is about 13 years old (in human years). This life has taken a toll on him physically much like myself. He suffers from skin issues, kreeky bones and joints, and liver jambs from time to time (much like myself), but he persists no matter the state of his physical affairs (much like myself). He has a huge heart, although he hides it behind a regular hiss when anyone starts moving too fast around him.

The E-Z Does it Routine
|
We Started out in sitting position on the floor this morning -- facing straight ahead...
|
After a few minutes he leaned over to me and started whispering a few things he thought I should know about...
|
And then we moved into a forward bend.
|
Please, no bald spot jokes btw. This is about Master Rambo's yoga routine for goodness sake, and he asked me to remind you that snide bald spot remarks about his students do in fact attract the curse of the crooked hair follicle!!! ;-)
After he loosened up some, Rambo then asked if I'd take a few shots of him as he moved through is favorite poses
|
1) Roll to your left side and stick the right leg out...
|
2) then bring the leg to the front...
|
3) and finally, turn the head toward the leg...
|
He loves preparing to close with some time in Mountain pose..
|

And finally, as with all good routines, some silient time in corpse pose is a must. He likes to double over his mat for more comfort in corpse pose. (and do you see Frisco in the rear of the picture on the maroon mat looking on? He too joined us for the corpse pose at the end).
Rambo tells me he is a Master of many but a father of none, and he tells me that's just the way he wanted it to be.
RIP Rambo - 12/24/2017 - A legend both in his own time and that to come...
