yoga
So I had my first ever yoga class today up in Aspen and let me tell you just how freakin' joygasmic it was...
It was about twenty of us in this small room, with heaters going (yes, we sweat), music, the lights low, candles and inscense burning and an hour and half of breathing, moving and living...
I can't believe I did the class because it was one of the advanced "power yoga" sessions, but my friend said that with my 11+ years of martial arts training I should be fine. And I felt fine, besides having to look around every once in a while to get the pose. And the instructor was really great - said I did a great job for jumping into such a hard class with no previous experience... I came out of there feeling partly like I'd just had a killer massage and partly ready to go climb a mountain. (And we did - went up Independence Pass later for a little hike.)
Such a great experience and I think I'll be going back soon! Late now, so I'm off to bed. G'night moon.
