Namaste, bitches
Tonight I attended my first yoga class in almost three years.
Did it make me feel awesome? YES. YES IT DID.
The class was laid back (the teacher was wearing a Green Day tee shirt) and small so there was room to spread out. There is nothing worse than being all up in someone's ass during warm-up poses. Even though it was my first class at this studio the teacher made sure she learned my name which isn't a big deal but it kind of is to me. I remembered her name so I expect her to remember mine.
The routines were simple; We did two sun salutation variations and then some warrior poses. Apparently I suck at all of those things because the teacher corrected my form. A lot. It seemed like she was messing with me more than anyone else and that made me feel self conscious.
Oh, and I also held in a fart for the entire sixty-minute class so maybe that's why my posture was off.
BECAUSE I WAS CLENCHING.
Other than feeling like the worst yogi in the class I enjoyed it. I wasn't the fattest person in there which was a plus (oh shut up. You know you notice shit like that too) and it felt like I was among friends even though I had never seen these people before.
I plan on going back but I'll make sure to eat light beforehand.

Make sure and fart before you go in too. Holding them in sucks!
Yay! Rock and Roll Yogi! Sounds like you have a good instructor who is careful with form, that's what all the corrections are for. I've been practicing for yoga 9 years and teaching for two - I still get corrected in poitions- it's an ongoing thing I assure you - there is no perfect that's why it's called practice!
Yes, holding in the farts...hahhaha I will identify. And Yes eat lightly or not at all before class or you will be looking at the food on the mat.
MAMA-STE
Glad you enjoyed it, girl you should have let it out.
your new look is fab! (yes, i am slow) i rarely comment on anybody's post, but i am making an effort to since having to clean my screen where my drink came out of my nose from laughing at "(oh shut up. You know you notice shit like that too)"
p.s. i thought everybody farted in yoga!
I'm just now starting to get into yoga. I love it. Hopefully it'll be easier when I'm NOT pregnant though, haha.
(I have something for you, can you send me your mailing address? christopherandtia at yahoo dot com)
I've never taken a yoga class but I think I'd like it. (Unless wii fit yoga counts and I doubt that it does.) I'm trying to talk myself into going to Zumba tonight.
Eat light, & choose carefully! Glad you enjoyed it, I'm always getting harrassed to try it out, I'll be curious to see if you keep enjoying it LOL! You should link this story up for your Friday Funny tomorrow, everyone giggles their ass off over farts, I don't care how much they try to deny it!!
:-D
Happy New Year 2010........................................
I've always been interested in trying a yoga class. Maybe I should check it out.
Glad you had a good time!
I have never done yoga and not for the fear of stinking up the joint I may never do it. Thanks.
I am usually the fattest person in the room in yoga. I've learned to be okay with it.
Also, last time I went, an old man passed the foulest wind ever. It was classic and I tried really hard not to laugh. Tried.
I hard a stand up talk about yoga being a 60 minute torture session, holding it in is just too hard.
Man, Lauren thank you for the laugh, your comments always make me smile.
