Yesterday, I went to my first yoga class after work. It’s being offered once a week through the continuing education program at my university. It was a small group (under ten) and all women, so it was a mostly comfortable environment for me. We went through some breathing and warm-up exercises, and did them in such rapid succession that I don’t remember them all now, but I think I’ve got enough of the principle to make sure my joints and muscles are warm before moving into the yoga postures. Our instructor taught us Mountain, Half-Moon, Warrior, Triangle, and Standing Angle. I felt so good afterwards that at 12:47 am, I was still wired and wanting to practice what I’d learned, but instead I took this picture and then made myself go to bed.

Hooray! I’m glad it went well. I always feel the same way after a session — I want to do MORE! What’s harder is maintaining that enthusiasm on non-class days, in the face of the real world, with all its other demands. But I’m so happy you had a good class!
