I forced myself to take yoga today! I know, "forced" shouldn't be used in the same sentence as "yoga", but I truly woke up this morning freaking out that I had no time. Then I thought to myself, "girl, this is exactly the reason why you should make time". After a brief negotiation with myself, I decided to go. My world really does need some zen right now.

Advanced Yoga? Really?! What was I thinking. (blah hah hah hah pure comedy!)
Summary: Not for the faint of heart! More of a workout than relaxing. Awesome class but a little too advanced for me to say the least! I tried to keep up as best I could but it was super fast-paced and there were some very tangled poses that I just couldn't even attempt. Definitely the hardest yoga class I've ever taken! For all you nay-sayers that don't think yoga is a HARD, tough workout -- take this class. I was DYING! There were 10 guys in the class -- if that's any indication! I may not be able to move very well tomorrow, so I'll be seeking out a "beginner" class somewhere!!
