Challenging.
23 months ago
When I went to class the other day, I’d had a big meal several hours before. I get acid reflux, and was in danger of performing “downward facing chili” pose. My breathing was really shallow in the poses, and I was generally uncomfortable.
I’m going to adjust my diet, not only to make yoga more pleasant, but to get in better shape and feel less lethargic.

It’s really unfortunate that I have such complicated associations with yoga. I enjoyed it when I first got into it, but I became friends with my teacher, and we had a powerful falling-out about something that still stings a bit three years later.
New teachers, new sangha, new town… I need to work through the difficulty I’m having emotionally with yoga. The benefits are worth it.

And I’m feeling it today. Ow. Ow. Ow. But that’s what it takes. I’m so far out of shape that it won’t be easy, but it’s worth it.

I bought a membership at Equinox—a very nice and startlingly expensive gym. I justify this because the local Bally’s locations are all pretty horrid, and because all group fitness classes are included.
Including yoga.
Including the style of yoga I took in Orlando for 2 years, which fixed my neck in three classes when the cranky chiropractor couldn’t.
And Equinox has the best shower heads evah.
