I can cross off item number 174 off my list of things-to-do-before-I-pass-to-the-other-side. I've been wanting to check out the hot girls yoga for awhile. I've never done it before, although it is one of the classes offered at my gym. Unfortunately the beginner yoga class or "Virgin Yoga" as they call it at Crunch is only offered on Sundays at the unholistic time of 10 am!
I woke up and rushed out this morning, running late and hoping to catch the subways on time. In the platform, I ran into an old college friend, Chris whom I hadn't seen since graduation, who recently just moved to New York from his home state of Alabama. When he saw me, he remarked that I looked hungover. I felt a bit embarrassed to say that actually my disheveled appearance was a result of having just woken up and running tardy for my virgin yoga class. There was something emasculating about that.
It was a humbling experience, but I really enjoyed it! It's a terrific low-impact workout, nonetheless a few hours later, I'm still sore. I'm going to try to make it a regular thing, despite the time.
If you see me in Soho walking with my yoga mat, please do not mock. Don't knock it, until you've downward facing dog'd it.
Now onto item number 175...speed skating.
