Im a little late on this post; but yesterday I went to my first EVER yoga class. I was really nervous and excited to try something new and I'm happy I did. With a general internet search and checking some references, not to mention a pretty good NEWBIE discount- I signed myself up at Southside Yoga Studio.
The class was YINYOGA which was based on holding poses and being relaxed; while learning to not battle with your ego. This was a very hard battle for me as I am typically your "no pain, no gain" kinda physically active person. The class was challenging physically and mentally and I truly felt a little lighter as I exited.
As class was being taught- the instructor suggested we focus on breathing. More specifically, she suggested we reflect withing ourselves as we breathed and " inhaled 2013 and exhaled 2014". This was a great mantra to live by as I continue to try new things, remembering the past, seizign the present, and working towards the future.
