Innocently, I attended my wife’s Yoga class Christmas party in December and found myself the winner of a 6 free Yoga classes door prize. Not to be wasteful, I offered the prize to her. Being the kind, beneficent and mean person that she is, my wife assured me that it was only good for me to use. Last night was the first “novice” Yoga class available since then, and I attended.
10 Observations from Novice Yoga Class
1. If I was 25 years old and single – Novice Yoga class is the place to be. 17 students. Two males.
2. Women KNOW men are nervous about Yoga. I’m just saying.
3. Yoga is a very personal experience that blends mental, physical and spiritual activity.
4. Yoga makes you thirsty – take water.
5. If I was 25 years old and single – Novice Yoga class is the place to be. 17 students. Two males.
6. Men, say what you will, but Yoga – even Novice Yoga - “isn’t for wimps.”
7. I’m already sore in place I didn’t know I had (or forgot about).
8. If I was 25 years old and single – Novice Yoga class is the place to be. 17 students. Two males.
9. The Yoga Gallery in Winston-Salem, NC is a kind place.
10. I’ll be going to all of the free classes, (and did I mention, if I was 25 years old and single – Novice Yoga class is the place to be).
You have some magnetic pull on prizes. Have you noticed you always win a door prize?
ReplyDeleteYoga grows on you. I'm always sad when people leave after 2-3 classes. It takes about a month of regular practice for your body to "get" what you're doing and relax into it. I've been doing yoga for 4 years now and can't imagine life without it.
Hope you enjoy the remainder of your sessions. If only you were 25 years old and single...
Excellent, Kim! It's amazing how yoga affects our entire being, isn't it? And I know just what you mean by feeling pain in places you didn't know you had. But at the end of the day, it's always such a satisfying experience. I always find myself at peace with everything in life, even with my troubles, after a yoga session. So much to be gained...
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your experience, Kim. Have a great weekend!
