It has been awhile since I last posted about yoga. That is because there have been changes and I am slow to adjust to change. My favorite yoga studio and my favorite yoga instructor are gone. She announced that there were some big changes coming and I got excited for more class times, bigger studio etc. Those things are all happening but not with her. She sold her studio and is currently not teaching. SAD DAY FOR ME! It feels like I have been dumped by my secret crush...I loved her classes and I loved how she taught.
I went to the new owners class and, although it was a great workout it was not the same. I have been going but instead of really looking forward to going I have been finding excuses why I can't go, and when I go coming home not feeling as good as I used to. So I started looking for different places to practice yoga. This falls under the "out of my comfort zone." I found out where my other favorite instructor teaches and went to one of his classes, again I loved how he taught but it was not hot yoga and I did not come home all sweaty, which makes me feel like I did something. I let my daughter convince me to go to Bikram Yoga. She has been practicing that style for about as long as I have been doing hot power vinyasa yoga, and we both try to convince the other one why "ours" is best. I went to my first class and I survived. It was like practicing yoga in the Mojave Desert in July. It was different than what I was used to in terms of how the class flows but some of the postures were the same and I was able to complete the whole class without stopping. I don't know if I am completely convinced yet, it is more expensive so they jury is still out. For now I will just breathe and keep looking for the right yoga fit.
