Yoga

I went to Kula Movement in Ballard this week, to start my 20 classes for $20 deal (normally a $350 cost, so a good deal). It was amazing. I did the hour and fifteen minute Forrest Yoga basics class, where the room is heated to 75 degrees and the focus is on stretching and breathing. I have never enjoyed or gotten more out of a yoga class before. The instructors gave alternatives for each pose, there wasn't a huge emphasis on sanskrit (I can't say I really connect with the language), and it just felt really good.

At the end, during savasana I actually meditated well for the first time too! Normally I can't clear my head enough for this, but the last hour and the heat made things easier. I really loved my experience, and I'm glad I get 19 more classes (because I can't afford it at the normal $15 a class, lol). I felt fantastic for a full 24 hrs afterwards, and it really felt like taking some time for just me. I also think it is going to help with my focus when I ride, which will make Starla and I work together even better.

All in all, I'm glad I sprung for that deal, and I'm looking forward to the next class I go to on Sunday. I'm doing the regular class, not the basics, so it is an hour and a half at 85 degrees, so I think it will be a fair workout! I'm looking forward to it though :)
