Okay. Tonight I went to Vinyasa Heat Yoga. Yes, it was as intense as it sounds. An hour and a half of the slipperiest yoga I've ever experienced in my life. It was like 110 degrees in that room. Why would I expose myself to this, you ask? Or, if you knew how yoga has become my healthiest addiction ever, you wouldn't ask at all. It is fantastic and good for me. I loved it. It was the hardest class I've been to so far this summer. Near the end of the session we did head stands, forearm stands, and then attempted the Scorpion pose by doing a forearm stand with our backs to the wall and slowly lowering our feet down the wall until we looked something like this:
This was the first night I've ever achieved Scorpion. It felt amazing. I apparently have a very bendy back. I think this is because of the all the back strengthening we've been doing in dance for the past few weeks at Circle. Afterwards I rested in Child's Pose for about five minutes just to compensate for all that back bending. It was so great. Such a good class.Today was a rainy day. This makes it extra humid, and makes the buses extra crowded and extra wet with umbrellas crashing into people all over the place. Regardless, rain is the loveliest thing and is simply refreshing.

Love to all.
Yoga is sooo hard but, man, you feel amazing when you are done!
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous of your yoga. I hurt my back as a kid and can't do that kind of thing without it hurting pretty bad. That pose is crazy. I'm happy you have a healthy addiction.
