I have avoided Yoga for years, even though most of my friends attend classes with near-religious fervor and constantly talk about the benefits. Other than surrounding yourself with incredibly beautiful in-shape benefits, I’ve always been a little suspect of sitting and sweating in a room full of total strangers. I kind of prefer exercising outdoors. But in the spirit of setting some New Year’s resolutions, this year I’m going to sign up for a yoga class and see if I can stick with it.
I was browsing some of the types of yoga on yoga simple and I think I’ll start with Hatha yoga. Bikram just seems too extreme, at least for now. Although I like the idea of having an amazing Bikram body, even if those people are a little bit like a cult.
First class is tomorrow. I’ve got my mat and my yoga pants ready to go. Let’s see how long I last.
