I have not been to my yoga class in over a year. I know that I am better off making this a habit but there are so many activities that I love to do that I find it hard to fit everything in. I am also a huge advocate of mixing up your workouts. We all get stuck in the same routine and we would be much better off to shake it up a bit when the opportunity arises. However, I also knew there was a chance that I would bail so I recruited my client to go with me. I figured if I put it out there than I would have to show. It’s a great motivational tool because I can tell you that if she were not meeting me, I would not have gone at all.
The place is always packed so I like to sit in the front. I am a little claustrophobic so sitting in the front really helps me out. I also try to sit by girls; no offense but guys sweat more so the farther away from them the better. You also have to overcome all of your little idiosyncrasies that you may have. Take myself, I really do not like to touch people or be anywhere near where strangers are sweating. Well, that is never going to happen in yoga. Feet are in your face, sweat is dripping on your mat, way too many people in one room etc. At one point when I was in fish pose I looked back and if I stuck out my tongue I could have licked the guy behind me big toe. Speaking of the guy behind me, not only did he kick me three times I could see way more than I wanted to when I was doing wheel!
I did not get to take any pictures in class but I snapped one of my yoga mat and Vitamin Water. I usually prefer the 10- calorie brand but they were all out at the Quick Mart by the studio. You sweat so much that I was looking for a little electrolyte replacement.
All in all I am very happy that I made it to class. I know that I am going to be so sore from all that stretching but it will do me good in the long run. When the weather gets warm you can usually find me on my bike so I took this opportunity to do something different. You should to!
