Had my first yoga lesson today.
I will admit I didn't enjoy it. It didn't start well - we got there after the start of the class (okay - only a few seconds, but I was out of breath, sweaty and mortified) because of HM's inability to be on time for anything. Grrrr. I then had problems with any positions on my knees - they aren't great at the best of times, but I have bruises and scabs from falling over on Monday. So that was all ouch ouch ouch. Then my severely underworked muscles meant I shaked badly holding any position, which doesn't help my naturally poor balance. And finally my rolls of fat got in the way of any positions not covered by the above complaints. Yes I am going again. The fact I disliked it mostly because I was so bad at it makes me far more determined than if I'd accomplished it all easily but just didn't enjoy it. Going to try & go twice a week.

 I really think you are going to like yoga. I found it to be one of the most relaxing things I have ever done. However, once the VCR died, I stopped doing it. I really should look into a DVD version or a class. |
