Namaste!

If you haven't guessed already, I went to yoga tonight - my first yoga class to be specific. The local fitness offers a class on Wednesday nights so I thought I'd give it a whirl. My co-worker Sam accompanied me and somehow we misjudged the orientation of the room and accidentally ended up at the front of the class. Within about, oh, 30-seconds the instructor had singled us out as the newbies. (What gave that away?? ;) Ha!) As I looked around, Sam and I were clearly the minority in the age category but I tried not to judge anyone based on the color of their hair or how deep their wrinkles were. The last thing I needed was to get cocky and be schooled by an old(er) lady. Luckily, the instructor was wonderful and very clear with her instructions so I wasn't bumbling around on my mat trying to figure out what the heck I was supposed to be doing. I will admit it was a little tougher than I thought and in the beginning I was sure I would nose-dive into my mat during Downward Dog if we didn't move onto something else. The ab work at the end was no picnic either but I think I made a strong showing. All in all, I really enjoyed the class and I look forward to going (semi-) regularly.
