See her?

That’s not me.  Not me at all.  First of all, in case I haven’t been clear, I don’t like yoga.  I don’t like the struggle to maintain the positions.  I don’t like having my shoulders hurt at night from maintaining downward/upward/dogs.  I can’t clear my mind of all thoughts–other than “When will this be over?”

So how did I find myself VOLUNTARILY taking a yoga class at my local gym today?  Yes, it was shorter than the P90x Yoga class, by 30 minutes, so that was a plus.  But still, it was yoga. Somehow, I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.   It had many of the same moves (I’m supposed to call them poses, aren’t I?), but a few different ones.  I discovered, for example, that I could have lived my whole life and never have missed the Lizard pose.

But I got through it.  In fact, I only had to skip a couple of them, and then I got right back in.  I am positive that I can do better in that class now, after taking P90x, than I would have before.  But will I do it again?  My brain says no, but things are changing, so we’ll just have to see.
