Ommm Yea!

Loved the yoga class last night.  It was held in the apartment's rec center??? nicely furnished with a rug on the floor that had a rug pad.  The cushion from the rug and pad really helped me, I wouldn't have been as comfortable, or been able to hold some of the poses on the hardwood floor.  I would have needed a thicker yoga mat for that surface.  

The instructor helped my alignment some, but was not overly intrusive or critical and I didn't feel singled out, because she also re-aligned others.  She turned the lights down pretty low, so I also didn't feel exposed.  All in all, I thought it great.  It was cool, but I did work up a sweat.  There were about 10 women in the class, some couldn't do all the poses either. Afterward I felt virtuous, and strong and stretched and limber and oddly refreshed.  This is just what I needed to round out the other exercise activities I've taken up.  In fact, I think it a great antidote to running. 

Thats awesome, nothing better than to have an instructor that understands!

Hurray for you.  That is what this journey is all about, getting our lives back and being able to do stuff.

Good for you!  I enjoyed yoga, it was a beginning class and I thought the guy talked too much explaining the history of all the poses... so we didn't do as much stretching/posing as I'd like to have.  But it was still a good experience.

If you continue you may want to go buy yourself a nice yoga mat - its well worth the investment, and I like that I'M the only one using it and not a bunch of other sweaty people...
