Friday Yoga Class

You may have noticed that I should probably call this blog "Home Fitness Fig" because my workouts are almost all done in my living or dining room (except for the occasional jog). However, today I branched out and went to a group class.

I finally got to try that yoga class I've been planning to attend. Ewan was finally healthy enough to go back to nursery school. He's in school from 9:00 to 11:30 M-W-F and the class is from 9:15 to 10:45 on Fridays, so the timing is perfect (and it's a short walk from his school). I really enjoyed the class. It was a bit embarrassing because I got there a little late (Ewan was grumpy going back to school so it took a while to settle him there) and the only mat left was in the very front and center of the room in front of the teacher. So they're doing this crossed legs closed eyes gentle start to the class when I come bumbling in and have to sit down in front.

Still, I wasn't self-conscious long and I thought it was a great experience. I expect to go back next Friday, and maybe also on Monday when they have class at the same time. The yoga was strengthening, stretching, relaxing, and there was also some ab work, so it was really ideal. The teacher called everyone by name (and asked my name when I came in and also encouraged me by name from time to time). It is a beginner class so I was able to keep up fine. I'm only worried that my bad ankle is a little sore now, but I didn't think I did anything to stressful to it.

In other news, this is post #100 on my blog!
