Ashtanga Yoga – Low Heat
I’ve taken this class for 3 weeks now and I am slightly
addicted to it. It’s a low heat class which I prefer over the intensity of the
real hot yoga class and it is an hour and 15 minutes which makes me feel like
each workout is worth it.
Since I’m a checklist kind of girl there are a few good and
bad things on my Journey to Yoga checklist:
Good :
Increased vocabulary (chaturanga, vinyassa, drishti) which
makes me feel not as alien when the instructor starts talking
Always break out in a sweat
Light is dim (makes me more willing to try poses without
inciting too much laughter)
I haven’t passed out yet
Noticed improvement in my abilities from first class to now,
which is encouraging.
Bad:
I can’t do ANY of the intermediate or advanced moves. I’m as
basic as they allow it to be, probably to the point of embarrassment
My right wrist hurts…probably one too many chaturangas
(notice how I aptly put that into my writing)
After one of these classes I can’t exercise for the next 48
hours as I’m sore and not very mobile
In conclusion, I still suck but I really enjoy it. Is that
even possible?
I feel like you feel good about yourself and in general... It's boosts your mood.. Makes u feel well worth it.. And since your sore you feel like your getting a good workout and it's we'll worth it.. Keep it up its not a bad addiction.. It's absolutely good for you! :)
