First off, let me say that im not exactally in tip-top physical shape... But i thought, hey, its Yoga, can't be THAT bad....

God was i wrong.

They make you contort your body in the strangest shapes. I heard joints crack from places i didnt even know existed. I even remember saying to myself "Hey, i don't think i've ever seen my ass without using a mirror before." Some of the moves were also so hard to hold in place that my legs, arms, and nearly my whole body were shaking like i was having an epileptic seizure. I was a mess.

The icing on the cake, I have fairly bad acid reflux from time to time and unfortunately 75% of the time in Yoga your head is beneith your chest. Nothing better than almost vomiting burning acid onto a complete strangers Yoga mat that you borrowed.

I have a new found respect for those who take Yoga. Next time, i think i'll let Danielle go by herself 🙂

On a good note however, the relaxation before and after the "active portion" was quite nice. 🙂

Well its a dark room, so no one really can see too much of each other. I was, on the other hand, the only guy in the class tonight.

Share the wealth aphexII please! 🙂

 
Yoga is pretty fun as it really isn't a workout in the traditional sense - I could do without all the new age bs, too
It's good to use every now and then to break up the monotony of weights

Lol so you are saying that the elderly and young children are in far better shape than you essentially.

Do you also sweat when you eat or go to the bathroom?

EDIT: Yoga is a really good workout though imho and can be actually fun.
 
Well, I guess now that you went you can always ask her to try out / practice some of the positions at home. 😉

My wife has a yoga video, I watched just a moment of it and confirmed it wasn't for me. Of course, she gave up on it not long after. She's doing the pilates now... that one isn't for me either. The chairmaster is where it's at. Heh.
