Ohhhh my GOD, is the intermediate yoga class ever inspiring/intimidating. I don't even know what I'm doing in that room except for providing comic relief. I certainly was not popping up into handstand, or doing the splits, or even maintaining the proper yoga breath. It was nice to have Freddy, my fellow escapee from tae kwon do, next to me for companionship... but even so, I'm heading back to the gym this weekend like a fish flopping back into the goldfish bowl. Expanding into new areas is great, but working within one's comfort zone is sometimes a delighful thing too.
In the meantime I've rounded out my practice with a long solo session of dishwashasana... good for hand strength and for having a clean kitchen. :)
I am liking the yoga quite a lot, actually. I think it's helping to stretch out my perennially stiff right hand, but without going too far and leaving me with a sore hand/forearm. And while it is not a tae kwon do replacement, it may be what I actually am looking for now: something I can settle into for years the way I have with weightlifting. No, I'm not in love with it to that extent yet, and if I were I would be afraid it was just a crush--but I can see a certain possibility that it might turn out that way. And I do like the thought of turning 30 and being able to do the things I imagine I might be able to, if I keep it up for even that long.
