i finally went to a yoga class last night and it totally kicked my ass. i had no idea what i was doing half the time and i could barely keep up with what i could do.
i know most of it has to do with my being out of shape and it will only get easier the more i do this. but a lot of it has to do with not knowing the moves and being unable to mimic everyone else in the class.
so i ended up leaving half-way through the class. it was just way too advanced for me. but instead of feeling like a complete loser, i decided not to stop trying.
i just signed up for a beginner’s workshop on sunday and i plan to go back to the same class on tuesday with a little more knowledge and confidence. (unless i learn from the workshop that another class is a better fit for me. but we’ll deal with that when the time comes.)
but for now i’d like to stick with vinyasa yoga. my friend suggested it and i went out and tried it and liked it. but, of course, i was sweating buckets and my knees and arms were shaking for more than half the time. but that only means it’s a good workout.
i know if i keep this up, it’ll be good for me. physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
