I need to bring a towel

[chargirlgenius]

Holy crap.

I just attended a session of yoga at the studio a block from the office. I haven’t done yoga in six months, and this was much more intense than any of my gym yoga classes have been. End result: sweat flowing off of me, I felt like I was gonna die. It was GREAT.

Classes are Tuesday and Thursday at lunch. When I start to telework, I’ll work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays, so I can hit class twice a week. I should be in better shape in no time, with a class like that!

I dare anybody who thinks that yoga is a mickey mouse workout to try a good class. Doesn’t even have to be bikram to make you pour sweat.

I also came to a conclusion about the origins of jala neti. It’s my firm belief that somebody, somewhere, was doing inversions as part of an intense practice and sweat dripped up their nose. o.O

Remember the advice from Hitchhikers Guide, "always bring your towel" :)

Yoga in general makes my sinuses drain and my guts work. This is overall good, but timing is everything. My beloved teacher is closer her school. 8^(.

develop some self control and do it myself.....

Yeah....the self-control to do it myself....I am sorely lacking...even knowing how good it makes me feel isn't always enough motivation to get off my ass. I need a group situation for the dynamic.

I assume you were saying that your teacher is closing her school....which school?

Yay for yoga! People really do not realize just how much it does for you. I need to get back on that track myself. Bikram makes me vomit, so I stay away from that type...hate the heat. I like Ashtanga and any vinyasa style, really. Go you!

You missed towel day

Our office did celebrate Towel Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Towel_Day), though we had to explain to one of the owners what it was and no, we weren't just making it up.

Nice! Did you celebrate Pi Day and Square Root Day?

Not as such, but I have brought in cubed roots (http://ren-flora.livejournal.com/26746.html#cutid1) before.
