I survived my first yoga class!

But just barely.

I finally worked up the courage to embarrass myself shamelessly and attend a (free!) yoga class at the rec center on base. I was told you could start at any time - even beginners. I had taken a short beginning class a couple years ago with my mom, and you know, frequently did yoga using my Wii Fit (It was my favorite part of that game!)

Boy, that class was NOT for beginners!

Had I never taken a class before, I would've likely walked out. I swear, every other move was downward facing dog, which combines all things I do not have: arm strength, balance, and keeping my heals on the ground (aka: flexibility in the legs).

Downward facing dog.

I'm the person who can't even touch my toes (Seriously. Never could, either.), and I'm pretty sure there's something wrong with my calf muscles, because I can never stretch them without pain... But it was good, it was fun, and the best part about yoga? Everyone's so busy focusing on his/herself (yes, there were a couple guys in that class) that they fail to notice how horrible the person next to them is doing.

Now to turn this into a habit!
