SO I DECIDED THAT I WOULD TAKE A YOGA CLASS THROUGH THE COMMUNITY EDUCATION PROGRAM AT THE LOCAL TECH COLLEGE. I THOUGHT THAT THIS CLASS WOULD MAYBE FILLED WITH YOUNG MOMS AND MIDDLE AGE WOMEN, AND THAT IT WOULD BE JUST THE SAME OLD YOGA THAT I WAS FAMILIAR WITH. HOW WRONG I WAS!! EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS, (PRE-BACK SURGERY), THAT I DID YOGA, I REALLY DID ENJOY IT AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD ENJOY AGAIN AND WOULD HELP BREAK UP MY EXERCISE ROUTINE. WELL, WELCOME TO THE NEW AGE OF YOGA. WHEN THE INSTURCTOR SAID SOMETHING A CIRQU DU SOLEIL TRAINING I KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE. CAN YOU VISUALIZE THIS? THERE WAS ONLY A FEW TERMS THAT SHE USED THAT I REMEMBERED, DOWNWARD DOG AND PLANK AND LUNGES.(THIS PIC IS NO EXAGGERATION) THE REST HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH SWAYING OF THE ARMS AND THE HIPS AND BALANCING THE LEGS OFF THE GROUND WHILE BENT OVER, SOMETHING THAT AT THIS POINT IS PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME. IT WAS RATHER COMICAL AND ONE IMPORTANT THING THAT I LEARNED IS NOT TO EAT A FIBER ONE BAR BEFORE YOU GO TO CLASS. HA HA HA.
Wow sounds interesting! I wish I lived closer so we could do yoga together :)
