About The Rondout Rower

Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Pisces, Nelsie Aybar-Grau not only enjoyed swimming in the Caribbean Sea but she has enjoyed travels that have brought her in close contact to the waters of the Thames, the Seine, the Yangtse, the Amazon, the Mississippi, the Hudson and the Harlem Rivers. Although she enjoyed swimming she had never pursued athletics in any serious way. After a career in computer programming for Wall Street area financial institutions she moved into the Hudson Valley upstate New York area. Then at 60 years of age as a favor to a friend she started photographing the Rondout Creek and the rowers in the Rondout Rowing Club. After four years of rowing both on land and water she became president of the rowing club from 2014 to 2017. Rowing has changed her life. Living steps away from the Rondout Creek has brought her closer to nature and the meditative rejuvenation that it provides.

Yoga poses for rowing

Posted on October 30, 2020 by The Rondout Rower

I have started doing yoga daily in the hopes that it will improve my rowing…..click on the picture for one of many links you can use to set up a routine….

I use a set of yoga cards with different poses I perform in sequence. It takes me around 15-20 minutes but I can make it shorter or longer by holding poses longer.

This is the link for the cards I use: https://www.amazon.com/WorkoutLabs-YOGA-CARDS-Sequencing-Meditation/dp/B00PX4C4MK/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1FP86SPUY2QF3&dchild=1&keywords=yoga+cards+pose+sequence&qid=1604068248&sprefix=yoga+cards%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExMU9MMDFMUThITjFUJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwOTcwMzM4Q1JBT1ZLNDEzTFRFJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA4NTY4ODcxVzZLTFY3V1NGMjRXJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
