Yoga
I took my very first yoga class today. It is hard to describe. I feel invigorated, but also very relaxed. It definitely required physical effort, but I didn’t break a sweat. I was amazed at how much concentration was required to simultaneously breathe, focus my thoughts, and maintain balance in a physical pose. I knew it was going to be a good experience from the instructor’s welcome: take things at my own pace, don’t compare myself to others in the class, and know that there is no end goal. We were encouraged to just “be.” I think I’ll enjoy having an hour to “just be” in the middle of my Thursdays.
