Day 3 of Yoga

Our yoga teacher put out a groupon last week, so my co-worker (J) and I showed up 5 minutes before class to find 25-30 people bombarding the studio when normally 5-10 people show up.

When asked who was totally new to yoga, about 10 people raised their hands. J and I exchanged glances and so it began... Let me say, we were pretty advanced for being there our third day. Our poses/form were neater and better than (almost) everyone else's.

Toward the end of class, we did mini bridge poses. The yoga teacher said we would do a total of 3 and said that more advanced students could do the wheel poses if they wanted. Once the third mini bridge pose was in full effect, I said to myself "come on, you can do it!" and slowly moved from a mini bridge to a wheel pose. I think I was the only one doing this. In that moment, I was triumphant! [cue "Gonna Fly Now" Rocky song]

To my chagrin, driving home today was painful. I couldn't turn the steering wheel without wincing. Waaah!
