funniculee is dredging up old memories of past literary loves

Practice yoga regularly (read all 26 entries…)
All paid up for my class. 2 years ago

It starts Tuesday. I’m excited!

A bonus: I went in to pay the fee for the class today, and had to go into the gym building (which I haven’t done before). Turns out it’s not a scary place after all. The faint smell of chlorine and sweat is really familiar to me, and the building is a bit worn and old (a plus in my book) – on the whole it really reminds me of the old YMCA where I took my first swimming lessons at 4 years old. It’s not the polished kind of place where I feel I have to already have a six-pack to be eligible to exercise there. Bike parking is readily available. I could stand to go there often – maybe even 3x a week?

Yoga is great

I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

Don’t get self-conscious when you see how flexible some people are. We beginners actually get more out of the classes even though we’re not as flexible. Just do each move to the point where you can do it. You’ll be amazed at how much improvement you can see in a few weeks.

When I see someone in the class perform an amazing stretch I am really inspired as it shows that even the students can get there with time and practice.

Good luck and have a great time.

Thank you for the encouragement!

And the wise words. I will definitely keep them in mind as I attend class next week.

Silly Drowa daring to fully love

flexible folks are people too

I just wanna echo catseye’s comments from a different direction…

some of us are BORN flexible. We don’t have to work at it… Instead, we have to work to create strength & stability. I LOVE that we all have our edges & find them in very different places.

Sooo – don’t think that the bendy person over there has it all figured out—he/she’s got their own edges which look different.

You sure are!

Flexible people have a different set of challenges .. my sister-in-law is hyper-flexible (I think I have the term right but anyway she is really flexible) and she has to be careful with some stretches in case she injures herself.

At least I don’t have to worry about that!

Thanks for reminding me that just because someone looks like they have it all together it doesn’t mean that they aren’t working hard!
