Today I went to my first yoga class since September or early October. My work schedule and transcript orders got crazy around that time, so I had to spend more time working on that than coming to yoga. I missed it, but I didn't realize how much. Sarah had also suggested that I get back into it. You know I do everything she tells me to do. ;)
I went to the 1215 Ashtanga Vinyasa class taught by Rickita. I really like this class. It is a longer class at 75 minutes, but it flies by. I was a little nervous that I would be rusty, but I think I did pretty good. I was sweating like a pig. Overall though I am glad I went. I definitely am going to re-introduce yoga into my schedule.
My downward dog was a little sad and painful the first few times that I did it. I couldn't get my heels down on the mat to save my life. My calves were so tight. After a few times, I was warmed up and was able to do much better. That alone told me I had to make more time for yoga. I thought that a rest day and a massage once a month was enough to loosen up my muscles, but obviously not.
My balance was a little rough, but my boat pose was much better than the last time I did yoga. My stamina was much improved, too. I didn't go into child's pose once to rest.
I went through the Lifetime Group Fitness schedule and I'm pretty excited that there is a Friday evening class added.
After class, I felt about ten pounds lighter and my breathing was pretty easy. :)
