I am tagging along with Brianna to her hot yoga class. Please keep in mind that I have never done yoga in any type of communal setting before, and I am not very flexible. This has disaster written all over it. It starts at 5:45 (just two short hours from now) and I just ate some oatmeal. I have a feeling that this was a particularly bad idea because what happens if I puke? Another thing about oatmeal- how can something with the most disgusting consistency taste so delicious?
Update: Hot yoga was amazing. I feel incredible, and the oatmeal stayed in my stomach. It was hot as hell in there- I was sweating like crazy- but something about the heat made me really limber. I guess that’s what it is supposed to do, so I was pleased I didn’t look like a complete fool. I caught on to the poses fairly quickly. The only one I couldn’t get was the eagle. I don’t get what you are supposed to do with your hands. I think I may be a yoga convert if I can find a place that’s a bit cheaper.
Note: the tree pose is my absolute favorite.
I’m so glad you came — you were awesome! They actually have a program at Prana where you can volunteer for short periods of time in exchange for free classes (i.e. run the front desk before class, clean up after, approx. 45 minutes). Might be worth looking into this summer!
