I Heart Yoga

Today I had my first yoga class with my friend and it was really good! Well except for the fact that I haven't mastered the shoulder stand and probably hurt myself tonight. As mean as it sounds I'm glad I wasn't alone in my shoulder stand failure as my friend could not do it either. While I was trying to keep myself up, she was trying to get her legs up. It didn't help that I tried to look her way when I was supposed to look straight. According to the instructor, you can seriously hurt yourself if you turn your head. And so I did. I couldn't stop laughing, and I couldn't stop staring at the girl next to me whose shoulder stand was absolutely perfect. Turns out that most of the people have done yoga before. Not fair especially when it is a beginners course.

The class was great though-- my body was very relaxed, albeit the pain and stiffness in my neck from the failed stand, instructor was good, but when you're trying to meditate and relax your whole body, it does not help when an older man falls asleep and begins to snore!!
