Namaste

Last spring I went to a Health & Wellness Fair on the campus where I work. I got some free blood work done, checked out some local health vendors, and won a free 3-month membership at a local gym.

I finally signed up on Sunday and today, took my first yoga class there.

When I was living in Washington, DC, I was in regular yoga practice. I had a work-study for a studio on Capitol Hill and really loved the classes and teachers. When I moved away from DC, I stopped practicing yoga.

I've missed it. I ran my best marathon times when I was in regular practice. I felt strong and balanced. I felt calm.

So today I gave my free class a try. It wasn't bad. It wasn't what I was used in DC - about half the length with no savasana and no sustained poses. But who am I to complain? IT. WAS. FREE.

Tomorrow I'm trying a step-interval class and on Thursday will return to the yoga class.

Ultimately, I'm just trying to get back into some regular workout routine. This free membership will help me do that and, once I'm back in that routine, I'll be able to be picky 'cause I'll be ready to maintain the workout.

For now, I'm grateful for the free yoga. Namaste.
