This week I didn’t get a chance to go to a class but
I looked up a routine online and tried to do it the best I could. I moved some
stuff around in my living room and started with the routine. It seemed like the
sun salutations I’ve done in my other classes so I was somewhat familiar with
it. I actually enjoyed doing this because it was independent. No one was
around, I didn’t lose focus from people watching, and I could really practice
my poses without worrying about keeping up with the pace of the class. I think I’m
going to do this more often because I can get better at yoga for when I do real
classes and because it was more relaxing being alone.
This week I tried a class at my gym Lifetime fitness called “Root”. It’s a beginner class that’s super laid back and helps new yogis really learn the typical movements they’ll be doing. This class was way easier than the Bikram I did last week. I wasn’t sore after but I did feel much more knowledgeable about the positions I knew already as well as a few new ones. This class showed me how to do cat cow poses, high lunges, and gate poses properly. I learned to like them so much because they open my hips and back which are constantly tight. I’ve since been doing these poses to start my day and to warm up my body before weight training. There wasn’t too much coaching on breathing or meditating because this class was more about getting reps in and practicing the poses. This was good for me since I’m new to this and it will help me get better and feel more prepared for other classes.
