Ticking Along

23. Give yoga a second chance

It took me a week after going to yoga class to remember that it was on my list. Ooops. Write-up required.

At my school, the strength and aerobic classes are free, but you have to pay for yoga and pilates. At least normally. My usual Friday gym class was canceled because of some exhibition being held in the gym, so I got to go to yoga for free. Yippee!

I liked it! The instructor led us through the poses in whatever normal soothing way. The friend I went with (who actually has done yoga before) called him deceptively challenging. "What was that when were balanced on the one foot, and we lifted our heels off the floor and now we're supposed to lift our toes too? What am I standing on?"

Crazy sore for the next couple of days, but that's expected. I'd go again. Often even. I can see how people get hooked. But, umm.., you have to pay for that class and I've got another one for free. I'll wait until it's not the more expensive option.
