Vegas Baby!

As you might imagine, my first few weeks of yoga have not been without challenges. Here's a recap....

VEGAS BABY! I managed to “teach” my first yoga class because my friends were intrigued and interested to participate during my in-suite yoga. So at least one thing happened in Vegas that doesn't have to stay there.

BOREDOM- One day it struck me that I was sick of yoga. So soon, I know! As a result, I had this frenetic yoga session where I did everything fast, like I was fast-forwarding through a movie. It was very odd. I think combating boredom is something formal classes can help with, because the yoga instructors introduce poses that are new to me.

PAIN- Early last week I realized that I hurt….badly. All the days of intense yoga overwhelmed my body. Muscles hurt that I never even knew I had. It was time for some restorative yoga to let my body rest.

ENVY- Boy they sell some cute yoga wear and gear, but WOW it is not cheap! Definitely not student budget friendly! So it turns out I may not have the most fashionable year of yoga, but I guess that’s not what it’s about :o) Plus I must be the least flexible person to ever set foot in a yoga studio. It's hard not to peek around the room at all the other students. There are women in their 60s who can bend further than me at this point! But again, not what this is about...

BLOGGING- It seems I am better at actually doing the yoga than finding time to write about it.
