If you've read my 30 Before 30 post, you know that taking a yoga class is on that list. So yesterday morning I woke up early and went to a yoga class near our house. I talked my mom and a friend into going with me. I have to say, I was a bit cocky about the whole yoga thing. I thought, "I'm a runner. I'm going to go in here and stretch my muscles out, yada, yada." I was a little embarrassed. The class was an hour long Yoga/ Pilates class and it worked muscles I didn't even know I had. About halfway through my muscles were shaking so bad I didn't know if I would even be able to walk out of the gym.
The next day I was sore, but it was that pleasant soreness that comes from a really good workout. I am definitely in love with yoga now. Well, yoga and pilates. It is such a great strength-training workout and the stretches help me feel long and lean. I'll be going back to the class again, probably each time it's offered over the summer. I also want to buy a DVD so that I can work out at home. Any of you yog-inis out there have any recommendations on a good DVD?
