Join a yoga class.

There’s a shop downtown in my home city that has yoga classes (although I’m not sure how often). Each class is $17. I think I may try one, although I really doubt I’ll be too involved in this goal until I get back to school (group yoga for free!).

I have a mat and follow some yoga DVDs but I think a class would be beneficial. This should be possible at my college but I need to step up and take action.

The location – Centre Parcs, Jardin De Sports, Longleat Forest.
I was on holiday, looking at things to do. Centre Parcs is a kind of place where you feel obliged to do some sort of exercise, what with no cars around, loads of bikes & everyone there looking so fit!
So looking down the list, I saw a Yoga class. Eight Pounds for one & a half hours. Sounded to good to be true. Also in the back of my mind i was thinking “Another task off the list”!
So I paid my money & waited for the 24th to come. Just 2 Days to wait.
Arrived on the day not knowing what to expect. Maybe lots of hippie types, lots of women, or lots of people just like me!
In the end, there was one other guy, & about 4 other “Middle Aged” women. I was the only beginner!
I got myself a mat & found a spot on the floor of the aerobics room.
Our teacher, Noelle was I guess your stereotypical Yoga Teacher. Very clam, very bendy & i would say very good at her job
Due to the early start, it was decided that the exercises would all be done lying down. That suited me fine!.
We did lots of stretching exercises, lots of breathing and lots of relaxing.

Without going into too much detail, it lasted one & a half hours, i struggled to match the breathing to the moves, but did feel good afterwards.
Ached a bit the next day, & was a frequent visitor to the loo to clear my bowels.
I purchased a DVD afterwards, & hope to continue the ‘classes’ from home (maybe)!

ok so im lokin up on internet 4 classes and aparntli dere are tonnes of diferent kindsa yoga… raja, hatha, bikra, pod… which one do i do??

Yoga is sooo relaxing! I took a class at college on yoga and had a fabulous teacher. She instructed us for 45 minutes, for which our eyes were closed the entire time so we didn’t feel self conscious about being in weird poses or seeing others look awkward. She also guided everyone in how to safely do all the poses, depending on if you had bad knees, bad back and etc (she called it “little yoga”) Apparently the crazy pretzel-looking positions aren’t that healhty- can stretch too much or add strain to your body!

built up my arm muscles too much
