I went to my first hour long yoga class today (outside of like the occasional session at a camp or something like that.) It ended up being pretty good! Challenging, and I will absolutely feel sore tomorrow, but good. I think I’ll keep going back to the studio I went to, as I have seven more passes for now, and the people there seemed very relaxed and no-nonsense.

This is a big milestone for me because I grew up pretty adverse to gym class and exercise type activities. I’m from a sporty family, so I’m kind of the odd one out. Being able to sign up for a class like this was a little past my usual comfort zone.

Next thing I need to do is acquire a yoga mat, hopefully made from sustainable materials. This is not a thing I have yet.

I also want to get back into my writing routine. I am hoping the exercise will help me focus more, though of course it will need to be more of a regular habit first.

Hey, congratulations! I could never do yoga myself because I don't have the patience for it, but I'm happy to hear that your first class on it was a positive experience 💜

Yoga was the first fitness thing I took to as a similarly non-sporty person, and the second was poledancing. I think it helps me that both of these activities are not a group sport, and so I can gently grow in them from wherever I'm at, instead of having to compete.

I'm proud of you for going and sticking with it! It's a hard goal to accomplish. At the start of the year I was doing more yoga and over the last month or so I just haven't done it.

Good luck with both writing and yoga! :-)
