Yes, finally I took a Yoga class. My mother often spoke of Yoga and of its benefits, and how she wishes she would take it all the time; however, as a young girl, I could not understand what it was and what you did. So in the last years, I have bought a couple of books in the hopes of doing something that my Mom thought was a good thing. Just like Pilate's, I have a video and the thing is that I do not have space in my home to practice any type of exercise where you spread yourself. What finally made me try this, has been my horrid heel pain. Actually it is not heel really, it is in the arch of my left foot. It has really flared up. I think the new tennis shoes, are good, but they are soo light and hardly have any support. I don't have my old ones anymore so I am contemplating in getting something with more cushion. Someone mentioned, that they have a lot of flexibility exercises and that, that might help my foot. So here I was in class full of people...avid yogasters!!! I got there when class had already started and found a niche....right in front of the mirrors. That is a horror by itself. I realized that I was first, in the way of others' looking at themselves...and by the way, a big bulge. So I obstructed the view of some...I felt conscious, usually I do, but I try not to have a view in the mirror. So needless to say, I could not hold all the poses that they do. Seriously. I tried hard and think I did pretty good, because of the last months of Pilate's, BUT SERIOUSLY...I think I have forsaken my body. I have really started to appreciate all your body can do and feel privilege to have this type of opportunity to do this exercises and Pilate's; they both have proven to be such great asset. I am far from achieving a good pose, but I am trying hard to do so, and in the middle of it, I am finding that having these 100 extra pounds are really really a bother. Why? continue the way I have been for years and years. I think this year, well since September, is going to prove to be the best start in awakening my body to what it truly should be. Fit.
