I received a 30-day pass as a birthday present from one of my besties. I was so excited, I have been wanting to try yoga for a very long time and never could round up a workout partner (when attempting something new for the first time, it's always nice to have a friendly cohort along to help you limp off into the sunset!)...so we went to our first class on my birthday and it was pretty awesome. I recently broke my ankle so wasn't able to do some of the poses very well, but the instructor was a brilliant cheerleader for the wounded and was awesome at making me, as a newbie, not feel like a complete putz for nearly falling on my face while trying to lift my leg over my back around my neck across my chest and around my ankle. (okay, that's an exaggeration...kind of!) The workout is intense and exhilarating (or maybe that's just because I'm new to it? I dunno) and I felt worn out by the time I shuffled out of the room (maybe that was because of the temperature?) but by the time I made it up to the front desk, I felt like a new woman and was so full of renewed energy that I started car-dancing on the way home (car-dancing is when your favorite song from the 90's comes on the radio and you start singing/rapping/yodeling...and doing all of your favorite old school dances from...okay, you get the point I'm sure). I'm looking forward to my next class!
