Yoga Time

Tonight my summer friend, Sara, invited me to a yoga class with her. I used a bright yoga mat just like these, except mine was purple, and not mine...I borrowed it from the teacher. I was very nervous as it was my very first time going to a yoga class. This particular class is only offered every once and again. The teacher actually runs her yoga class in the basement of her home. The walls are all painted a beautiful shade of green and lights are all inset and on a dimmer. These two things alone, along with the comfy carpet, make for a very relaxing space! The class itself is almost two hours long. We held every pose for about five minutes which doens't sound too bad, but sit Indian style and lean the entire top of your body forward stretching out your arms. Stay like that for five minutes. Then tell me it's not that hard.

I really enjoyed myself and would definitely consider taking a class once a week. It is very calming! At the end of the class you lay on your back legs and arms spread hip width apart palms up. Then the teacher comes around and pushes you into the ground a bit (which feel AMAZING) and massages your head for a bit. I am getting sleepy just thinking about that part.
